Welcome to Treehouse!
Mr. Dennis covers this at about 1:57 in the video. If you are still stuck I would recommend taking another look.
You can assign a value to a variable called name through the console.readLine() method, along with some appropriate prompting text like so:
String name = console.readLine("Please enter your name: ");
Post back if you still have questions.
Happy coding,
Ken
