Java Basics

I cannot keep rearranging the code if it doesn't work. Please help I am apparently missing something.

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
 String firstName = console.readLine("first name");
String lastName = console.readLine("last name");
console.printf("%s", "Sara");

The task wants you to use the variables used before. And use the data entered there and display at the end. 

console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);

Hope this helps!
