Q 2 - Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"

printf() takes a string with a placeholer and a variable to replace it with. The placeholder for a string is %s.

The string is "%s can code in Java!"

the variable is firstName

so your answer is...

printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Hope this helps
