Hey Jorge,

I just went through all three tasks, and there is no bug - all tasks passed for me.

With the code you posted, the challenge never asked you to hard-code a value into the firstName variable, so your line of code, although correct in syntax, is not what the challenge is asking for.

One other thing I notice, is your Console.Write ... this is incorrect syntax. The correct method name is Console.WriteLine.

Have a another go, but read the instructions very carefully, as challenges are extremely picky and precise. And watch for the syntax errors.

Keep Coding! :)

:dizzy:

Your first line should not have a hard coded value (e.g. "Jorge"), instead you need to make a call to the Console.ReadLine() method and input that value into the string firstName.

You second line is supposed to call the Console.WriteLine() method with the variable firstName as the argument.
