223 Pointsprintf and console is not working. What should I do?
There's something wrong on this console. I typed correctly what the instructor told me to do. There must be a bug.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Steven";
Console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n", firstName);

19,589 PointsHey!
Java is a case-sensitive language, so that means if something is capitalized that shouldn't be, it won't work.
You have:
Console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n", firstName);
And we should be using console
here, like this:
console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n", firstName);
Hopefully, this helps! Good Luck!!
