compiler error

compiler error is coming in code written as import java.io.Console;

public class Name{

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    String firstName = "Neeraj";
    // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
  System.out.printf(" %s is good, going to be better, will be best");
  System.out.printf(" %s Naam hi kaafi hai \n");

} }

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
public class Name {
  public Static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Console console = System.console();
        String firstName = "Neeraj";
        // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
      System.out.printf(" %s is good, going to be better, will be best");
      System.out.printf(" %s Naam hi kaafi hai \n");
  }
}

You have to identify what the placeholder is used for as show below.

public class Name { public static void main(String[] args) {

  String firstName = "Neeraj";
    // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
  System.out.printf(" %s is good, going to be better, will be best", firstName);
  System.out.printf(" %s Naam hi kaafi hai \n", firstName);

} }
