I have just begun java and do not understand what this question wanting me to do
Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "First name: ", followed by the first name that the user has entered.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
console.printf("MyNameIsTracy", firstName);
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
console.printf("MyLastNameIsExcell", lastName);
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? ");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name?");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name?");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);
The first two lines gets the user's name.
The last two lines prints the usernames to the console.
The "%s" symbol is basically a place holder for the variable that will follow after the comma in the printf() method.
