I think I defined a string variable and set it to my name, I can't seem to get it right and it wont let me move forward

String firstname = "Logan";

Name.java
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstname = "Logan";

When you named the variable, you forgot to camel case it and named it firstname instead of firstName. You need to make the 'n' uppercase.
