Java is also picky about capitalization.

This means that string is different than String. Notice the capital S and the lowercase s.

Java is case-sensitive! :smile:

I hope this helps. ~Alex

Bonjour David,

Let me help you with it

First part: You store your name in a String variable called firstName. Simple

String firstName = "Gunjeet";

Second part: You print it off using console.printf statement

console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

ne pas difficile ;)
