Did you skip the Receiving Input video? That video directly precedes the challenge, console.readLine is both used and explained in that lesson.

Because on the top of each video is a line (green with java course) that has progress of the unit or chapter or whatever you wanna call it that you will learn, so at the end of it you get achievement badge. When you first try to watch video you can accidentally press this track and be redirected to previous/next video or questions/coding task if the mouse pointer is at it and you have pressed it. You can look at the video that you accidentally skipped the same way. Hope this helps.
