Declare a variable that is named the camel-cased version of "first name". Store the user's first name into this new variable using console.readLine.
String firstName ="Tommy Tom" String firstName =console.firstName("What is your name?" );
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName ="Teddy Ted";
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");

5,604 PointsHi there! You have declared the variable "firstName" a second time in the code. Once you have declared a variable
String firstName;
You access it by only name:
firstName = "Random Stuff";
//or in this challenge:
firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
Take care and happy coding !
