String firstName= console.readLine("Please enter a first name");
the explanation of the readLine method is that is "Provides a formatted prompt, then reads a single line of text from the console.". So you pass it a prompt (a bit of text to display to the user) to use, and it returns a string. Since you want to use that string, you assign the value returned to a variable.
