You don't need the "name =" part here. Try this:
String band = console.readLine("Which band? ");

1,409 PointsYes, the compiler thinks you're making two variables. It doesn't know what to do with this. So it sends an error. In this case, the error is that it can't find a symbol. These errors come A LOT, so don't get frustrated. Hope it helps!!
