Though you didn't post your code, you obviously passed task 1 already. Task 2 also involves a function call, but instead of assigning the output to a variable, you will pass the variable to the function as a parameter.

Remember that parameters go inside the parentheses "()" that follow the function name.

Be sure to post your code if you need any additional assistance.

The WriteLine() function accepts a String variable as a parameter. You don't need to type WriteLine(string firstName), only WriteLine(firstName)
