Hi there! You're doing great, but there is a syntax error. Check your last line carefully. You have one extra closed parenthesis.

You have written:

console.printf("Last Name %s\n"), lastName);

But that should be:

console.printf("Last Name %s\n", lastName);

If I remove that pesky closed parenthesis in the middle, your code passes all steps with flying colors! Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Thank you I hadn't noticed it
