public class Name {
public static void main(String[] args){
Console console= System.console();
String firstName="Deepa";
console.printf("The first name is " +firstName);
}

For the first task just write the variable declaration. It should be a single line of code.
Task 2 should be a second line of code, which you then should change slightly for the third task. At no point should you have more than two lines of code. Just follow the instructions exactly and you'll be fine.
