When I tried to get output, it shows me an Error. Please help in finding out my mistake in the code.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = "Schwartz";
console.readLine("My Name is %s");
String lastName = "Prince";
console.readLine("My Last name is");
console.printf("First name : %s\n ", firstName);

You want to use the console.readLine
to gather user input and assign that directly into the String
called firstName
. The same for lastName
.
Then, output the string required - it wants "First name:
" (not "My first name").
Have a look at this:
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name?: ");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name?: ");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
Make sense? Now complete the rest and let me know how you got on ...
Steve.
