Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"

I did not understand on how to write console printf.. I already wrote a console.printf statement in my first task

Name.java 
String firstName = "Monica";
    console.printf("my name is %s",firstName);
              console.printf("%s",firstName);

Hello

I see how the question can be confusing

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Monica";
console.printf("Monica can code in Java");
console.printf("%s can code in Java",firstName);

this is what the challenge is asking for ... you got it mostly right.
