It says illegal expression for the first line.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named
public class Name{
public static void main(String args[]){
String firstName= "Amir";
Console console= System.console();
console.printf("My name is %s\n", firstName);
}
}

Basically you went way beyond what the challenge is asking for. Instructions are very specific and must be followed explicitly, or the result will be a Bummer!.
If you notice the comment, the console object has been created for you behind the scenes, so for Task 1, you should only have one line of code as the instructions just want you to assign your name to the variable. You do have the correct line of code, you just need to delete everything else and just keep
String firstName= "Amir";
Remember, instructions need to be followed exactly. So for Task 2, make sure the string is exactly what the instructions want.
Keep Coding! :)

public static void main(String args[]){ String firstName= "Amir"; Console console= System.console(); console.printf("My name is %s\n", firstName);
}
}
ps. this code will work. I imported Console and also class Name doesn't need to be public.

The above code is not correct and will produce a Compiler Error in the challenge. Please see my answer to Amir below.

Treehouse Moderator 145,858 PointsIt's not a picture. It is a code block inserted using Markdown. You can refer to the Markdown CheatSheet above the "Post Comment" button, or take the new Treehouse course on Markdown Basics. Code should always been formatted with markdown when posting to the Community, otherwise it is very unreadable.
