First, see if you can write a program that accepts as input the first name (or any name) and prints the result. The pseudo-code would be:

1. Ask user to provide a name
2. Bind the name to a variable
3. Print the name (i.e. the value of the variable)

so after I wright the program do I run it on the cmd?

running your program from cmd allow you to see the printed name. because if you just directly run your program (double click ur program) outside cmd,  after you type the input it is automatically closed after show the result for a moment
