2,050 PointsHi Ade! Your Problem is, that you forgot to use "%s" instead of "Ade" in both lines console.printf. It means, that you have stored your name ("Ade") in variable firstName, that is why you don´t actually need to type it again istead of it you use "%s". Here is the code:
public class name {
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
public static void main (String[] args){
//this is introduction program!
String firstName = "Ade";
//thisIsCamelCasing
System.out.printf("Hello, my name is %s \n", firstName);
System.out.printf("%s is learning Java Language Program \n", firstName);
}
}
