Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"

I did it the right way and it keeps telling me to check the spelling

Name.java 
String firstName = "Bolatito";
console.printf("Hello my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("I'm %s\n", firstName);

The other part of the hint is "Make sure it is printing out what the instructions are asking for."

The instructions ask you to show this:

<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!

But this code outputs this instead:

Hello my name is Bolatito
I'm Bolatito

That's a bit different! :see_no_evil:
