What does it mean to "Print out to the screen" in the task 3 out of 4 in the IO Challenge?

I am looking for the lesson on this, but I cannot find it. Was it discussed in one of the videos? If so, which one?

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name?  ");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your name?  ");
console.printf = ("First name:  ");

I think console.printf("something") will print something to the screen.. try it.. and then change from editor mode to view mode..
