String firstName = console.readLine ("What is your name?");
String lastName = console.readLine ("What is your last name?");
console.printf("%s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s\n", lastName);
What am I missing here?

Treehouse TeacherTake a look at the instructions one more time:
Print out to the screen using the printf method on console, "First name: " and the user's first name.
HINT: The results of what you have there is just the value in the firstName variable. It seems to be missing a label.

530 PointsWow......
that was much easier than I was making it out to be
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
I was just missing the First name: in my string....
Thank you for making me read the task.

instead of this Try String firstName = console.readLine ("What is your First name?");

530 PointsI also tried this with no luck. I am not sure exactly what they are looking for in this challenge I mean this program will run correctly.

Bummer! Ensure you use
"First name"in your format string.
