305 PointsI am unsure what the feedback is saying when it says, "make sure firstName is the second argument" can you elaborate
Please explain
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Michelle";
console.printf("%s\n can code in Java!", firstName);

In this case the embedded newline (\n
