They already set up the console variable (read the comment // I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console) so remove the second line. You are suppose to print out "abhishek can code in Java!" not just "abhishek". Also its probably good practice to use your firstName variable in the console.printf statement (thats why you created it right?).
