3.Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "First name: ", followed by the first name that the user has entered. console.printf("First name: %s \n" , firstName);
When I tried to run it I got an error. What didn't I do?
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name? ");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? ");
String firstName = console.printf("First name:" %s \n" , firstName);

console.printf("First name: %s \n" , firstName);
Below String lastName variable and it should most definetly work :)
Oh, and also you have one extra double quotes inside the printf . I have corrected the mistake , hope this answer helps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me , I'll try to help :)
