5,604 PointsHi there, there is nothing wrong with your code it is formatted correctly, however in this specific challenge they are asking that you have the console print a specific message:
String firstName ="Michael";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!",firstName);
Just make sure to read the challenges carefully as they are very specific sometimes!
Take care and happy coding!
