Proper type, String

band = console.readLine(" Which band? ");

Code not passing

FixMe.java 
 String firstName = "Gordon";
 String lastName = "Sumner";

 console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);

 band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

You forgot to give the last line a type of String

 String firstName = "Gordon";

 String lastName = "Sumner";

 console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);

 String band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");
