3,173 PointsSometimes these exercises want very precise answers. It looks like you're adding extras to your answers. When I did the exercise, it only wanted first name in a variable, and last name in a variable, then asked to print a line with each variable.
String firstName = console.readLine("First name: ");
String lastName = console.readLine("Last name: ");
// I think this is where the issue is... Watch the formatting and only add what it's asking for.
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);

2,028 PointsIt is also useful and a good habit to add a "\n" inside the quotations of the printf function as this will allow the console to continue to print on the next line in the console screen. If the question didnt ask for printf then println would have been a good choice to use also
