1,251 PointsWhat is the parameter to the printf function?
It's asking "Did you forget to pass the firstName
parameter to the printf function?" and I can't seem to find the mistake in line 3 where it's asking me to do it
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = "Ilona";
console.printf("Firstname: %s/n", firstName);
console.readLine("%s/n, firstName");
String lastName = "Sorokina";
console.readLine("%s/n, lastName");

console.readLine("%s/n, firstName");
But firstName should be outside the quotation marks:
console.readLine("%s/n", firstName);
