453 PointsHelp! I can't find the error in my code...
I can't see what's wrong with this code...
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
//public class Introductions {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
console.printf("Hello my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write in Java\n",firstName);
}
//}

The problem here is that you've done too much!
You don't need the main method or the Console object, the challenge provides that for you. The first task says Declare a variable that is named the camel-cased version of "first name". Store the user's first name into this new variable using console.readLine. For which you just the line of code you have already written:
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
Next, you do the same to store the user's last name. You then have a couple of tasks to output those variables. But there's no need to create all the code a working app would have; just follow the instructions line-by-line and you'll be fine.
Steve.
