You have an equals sign in the wrong place. You should not have a equals sign after the console.printf You code:
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine();
String lastName = console.readLine();
console.printf = ("First name: %s", firstName);
Problem:
console.printf = ("First name: %s", firstName);
Should be:
console.printf ("First name: %s", firstName);
Hope this was helpful
