Here is the question. What am I doing wrong?
Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "First name: ", followed by the first name that the user has entered.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("what is your first name? ");
String lastName = console.readLine("what is your last name? ");
console.printf("First name: ");
console.printf("%s", firstName);
