8,223 PointsYour method name is incorrect (readLine nor readline) and you need a set of () to call the function. In this instance, they seem to want you to provide a prompt (ie a parameter expressing what the value should contain I guess). Additionally, you don't need to surround the variable name with quotation marks. It accepts:
String name = console.readLine("provide some kind of value");
