A little help please..?

Can't seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("Evan");
console.readLine("%s\n", firstName);
String lastName = console.readLine("Robinson");
console.readLine("%s\n", lastName);
console.printf("First name: %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s\n", lastName);

You are doing the readLine wrong, this is how you should do it

String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name?");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name?");
console.printf("First name: %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s\n", lastName);
