Hi - here is the answer I think you are looking for.

get rid of everything except the comment and enter what is below.

String firstName = "Azaam";
console.printf("%s", firstName);

This question doesn't need you to declare a class or a main method. Also whenever using a String make sure the S is capitalized and I could be wrong but I don't think there is an actual Console Java class.

Hope this helped!
