47 Pointscall the printf
Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"
Bummer: Check the spelling of your argument to the printf method. Make sure it is printing out what the instructions are asking for.
I do not know what I am doing wrong? I have changed the code several times and get the same result.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named consoleString firstName = "Kevin";
String firstName = "Kevin";
console.printf("my name is Kevin");
