Hi there! You're doing great. But the answer to your question is actually written in your question. Remember, just about everything in programming is case-sensitive. You've named your variable FirstName instead of firstName. These are two entirely different variable names according to Java. If I change the "F" to an "f", your code passes!

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
