Ensure your format contains the required text "First name"? because i already have it in my string

help

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("First name:  ");
String lastName = console.readLine("Last name:  ");
console.printf("Thank you for joining us %s.\n", firstName);

Hi Jeff!

They literally want "First name: " in the string

console.printf("First name: %s", etc...)
