Please if possible explain it in a simple manner what I doing wrong. Thank you
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console. readLine("Wilfried ");
String lastName = console. readLine("Allico ");
console.printf("%s\n, firstName");

First of all the syntax for the print should be console.printf("First name: %s ", firstName); Everything is written between " " will be printed as text on screen and what is after (firstName for example) is the variable that will take the place of %s. If you want to move to the next line i suggest you use %n.

System.out.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
