Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
Console console = System.console();
firstName = "Leangheng";
console.printf("My name is %s", firstName);

firstName = "Leangheng";
console.printf("%s can code in Java", firstName);
