You've done too much here. The compiler doesn't have the System
object installed, perhaps; I don't know and it probably doesn't matter!
The tasks are to be taken literally; it asks you to Define a string variable named firstName
that stores your name. Set the value to your name. So you just need to do that, not write a class etc.
Just define a string variable and store a string in it:
String firstName = "Your name";
I hope that helps,
Steve.
