In the console.printf make sure you write "First name" and "Last name".

String firstName = console.readLine("What is your First name?  ");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your Last name?  ");
console.printf("Hello, my First name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("Hello, my Last name is %s\n", lastName);
