Don't be confused by Krzysztof - I think he might have been giving you advice for a different challenge entirely (perhaps from a different course)!
Now in this challenge, the first step is to Declare a variable named firstName and initialize it to the string returned from a call to Console.ReadLine(). You were very close, you just forgot that ReadLine takes input from the keyboard, not from a parameter. So just leave that out and you'd have:
string firstName; firstName=console.ReadLine(); // notice no value passed to ReadLine
Which is fine, but you can also combine the declaration and assignment together like this:
string firstName = console.ReadLine();

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 4,005 PointsFirst things first, correct your spelling: Sring -> replace with String. Then you have to declare a variable firstName and store your name in it:
This is task 1:
String firstName = "Leslie";
Then call the print function (Task 2):
String firstName = "Leslie";
console.printf("Leslie can code in Java!");
