JavaTester.java:87: error: cannot find symbol String firstName = console.readline("What is your name?"); ^ symbol: method readline(String) location: variable console of type MockConsole 1 error Take out the ; and java asks for it. Put it back in and I get this error
I feel dumb not being able to fix it, I have found all other errors, but this one I don't understand.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readline("What is your name?");
console.printf("Hello my name is %s\n",firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning to wrrite java\n",firstName);

I see that you're also printing out lines that were from the last challange, go ahead and remove those from now and just print the lines that the challange asks for, really for this step in the challenge what you should have is.
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name?");
Don't feel pressured by this, it takes time unfortunately, lots and lots of time. Really any progress should be proud of.
