String name = console.readLine();

7,912 PointsCan you please exactly tell me what I have to do!
Josip Dorvak
18,126 PointsMy guess is right now the question is only asking you to declare a variable to hold input. So just have
String name;
As the answer

// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("First name: ");
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s.\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write java!\n", firstName);
Thanks!! ISAIAH S

18,126 PointsAlso adding a string as a parameter will act as a prompt for a User:
console.readLine("What is your name?");Josip Dorvak

18,126 PointsMaybe the question only asks to add a variable...in that case just have:
String name;
