You're on the right track, but the readLine method is expecting an argument (eg. "What is your name?"). Just add that to your code and you're good to go. :)
Keep Coding!

According to the docs the readLine() method takes an argument! But you aren't passing anything. Just pass an empty string instead!
String name = console.readLine("");
