// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console. String FirstName = console.readLine(); String lastName = console.readLine(); console.printf("Hello, type in your", FirstName); console.printf("Hello, type in your", FirstName);
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String FirstName = console.readLine();
String lastName = console.readLine();

I do believe your coding used here is very strange. Here is an example of a clean code for this exercise:
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("Hello, type in your first name: ");
String lastName = console.readLine("Hello, type in your last name: ");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);
First of all, your first String variable FirstName has a capital f in the name. This capital F is wrong and invalidates the first challenge. Which is why it keeps sending you back to the first challenge. So please name that string "firstName" without the capital F.
Secondly, the readLine() method can take the string that tells the user to type in their name.
Lastly, the printf() method requires a %s that is used in the string within the method where your String name variables will be inserted.
Leave a comment if you have any other questions!
