4,883 PointsI don't know if this will help but i got two suggestions :
1) Try writting the main... line like this :
public static void main(String args[]) {} // watch that instead of String[] i'm writting args[]
2) I guess that in your program you just want to output the firstName variable.If that's true, then remove the "" marks because if you run your program like that, you'll just output the string "firstName" and not Raul!
Let me know if the 1st suggestion worked!
