Clueless

Hi,

The last task on the error correction challenge is really stumping me. It says its missing a declaration at the start of the statement. Totally clueless. Anything will help.

FixMe.java 
String firstName = "Gordon";

String lastName = "Sumner";

console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);

band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

Ok, got it! The type of the band is a String band.

"Declaration" means stating the type and name of a variable when you first create/use it. You'll notice on the fourth line you're using a new variable called band for the first time but what is its type?
