console.printf("My name can code Java"); NOT working.

If i'm not mistaken, there seems to be something wrong with either the the compiler or my code. I've tried every single combination. Any help?

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

Hi there! You're doing great, but you misread the instructions, I believe. The string should be " can code in Java!", but yours is "can code Java!". Note the addition of the word "in" to the variant that's required by the challenge.

Remember, challenges are very strict and they must generally match to the letter. This can include spelling, capitalization, and even spacing! :sparkles:
