Hi!

You are probably on the 2nd task. The only mistake you are making is that you are capitalizing the Console object. Craig has made an instance of that for you called console. Notice the first letter. You will learn what an instance and an object is in a later course, but for this challenge you need to use the instance:

console.printf();

Not:

Console.printf();

If you have any questions about this please let me know!

I hope this Helps!

Thanks! :)
