43 PointsWhy is it saying this Did you forget to pass the `lastName` parameter to the printf function?
I have added last name exactly how I added first name but it wont accept it?
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.String firstName= console.readLine(“What is your name? “);
String firstName= console.readLine("What is your name? ");
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s can code in Java\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write Java\n", firstName);
String lastName= console.readLine("What is your last name? ");
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", lastName);
console.printf("%s can code in Java\n", lastName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write Java\n", lastName);
console.printf("First name %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("Last name %s\n", lastName);

You're doing fine. You just have way too much code there. The 4 tasks for the challenge are only asking for 4 things, so there should be only 4 lines of code.
Instructions must be followed exactly and in the order they are given. If you add code not asked for, deleted code that you weren't told to, or modify preloaded code without instructions to do so, the code checker will return the Bummer even if it's functioning code.
You have all the correct code for the challenge but also 6 lines of code that are not asked for. Restart the challenge and pay close attention to what the instructions are asking for. Only do those... nothing else.
Otherwise, very nice work!! :)
