Hi Rejoy,

It is expecting an output string that says "Rejoy can code in Java!". Also, there's no need for the brackets on the first line.

Try this:

String firstName = "Rejoy"; // no brackets
console.printf("Rejoy can code in Java!");

In the last challenge, you'll use the string formatter to insert your variable contents into the string.

Steve.
