Thread: Collecting user input error

Ok first time poster here so please post any pointers on posting and any help in general. I'm very new to Java programming but I started this way with C++ and love it, I hope I can do the same with Java.

So my problem is that I'm trying to create a program that will collect the first and last name of a user, convert to all lower case letters, and put it in a generic email format (firstname.lastname@waketech.edu).
Troubles I'm having are that I can't get the user input to ask and collect the input. I don't know where to put the .toLowerCase().

import java.util.Scanner;
public class EmailGenerator
{
 
	/**
	 * This method is to grab the users input and convert to all lower case letters
	 * and put in an email address with given host. 
	 *
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		Scanner firstName = new Scanner (System.in);
		System.out.print("Enter your first name: ");
		System.out.println(firstName);
 
		Scanner lastName = new Scanner (System.in);
		System.out.print("Enter your last name: ");
		System.out.print(lastName);
 
		System.out.print(firstName);
		System.out.print(lastName);
		System.out.println("@waketech.edu");
 
 
 
	}
 
}

I would use the code:

Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
String firstName;
String secondName;
 
System.out.println("First Name");
firstName = input.next;
System.out.println("Second Name");
secondName = input.next;
 
System.out.println(firstName+secondName+"@waketech.edu");
