The variable name they are looking for should be 'lastName'. Now just write it out as a statement:

String lastName = console.readLine("Enter your last name.");

I just went to the task and it is asking for the first name. Just change lastName to firstName.

String firstName = console.readLine("Enter your first name.");

Thank you for the help. Much appreciated.

String lastName = console.readLine("Enter your last name.");

It doesn't work.

String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? "); String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? ");
