IO.java

// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("firstName  ");
String lastName = console.readLine("lastName?  ");

Hi Stanley,

You have all the correct code for the 4 tasks to pass; however, you also have code that the Challenge did not ask for, and that is why you are getting the Bummer!. Even though the code you added is syntactically correct, Challenges / Tasks and the instructions associated with them are very specific and very picky. If the instructions aren't followed exactly, it often will result in the Bummer!.

Here you have 2 extra lines of code that was not asked for. The Hello my name is ... and the ... is learning how to write ....
If you just delete those two lines, everything will pass.

Keep Coding! And remember, if the instruction don't ask for it ... don't do it. :)
Other than that - Good Job.
