Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "Last name: " followed by the last name that the user has entered.

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.

String firstName = console.readLine("  ");

look like you remove task 2 ! and replace that task 3 this is the answer: String firstName= console.readLine(""); String lastName= console.readLine(""); console.printf("First name %s \n",firstName); console.printf("last name %s \n",lastName);
