String firstName = console.readLine("What's your name? "); String lastname =console.printf = ("Hello my name %s");
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("What's your name? ");
String lastName = console.printf= ("Hello my name is %s \n");

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

Courses Plus Student 2,943 Pointswhen you want too store the lastName in the variable you do this
String lastName = console.readLine("What's your last name? ");
but when you want to print the lastName name you use the console.
console.printf= ("Hello my name is %s \n" , lastName);
