This challenge isn't asking for the class and console declarations. Take it one step at a time.

Task 1:

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Mary";

Task 2:

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Mary";

console.printf("<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!", firstName);

Task 3:

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Mary";

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

But it's good that you knew how to declare classes and imported objects, it's always good to practice things like that.
