Define a string variable named firstName that stores your name. Set the value to your name

I am unable to get the answer and I would like to know the step-by-step process .

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
Public Class Console {  

Public Static Void main {String [args]};

Console console = System.console ();

  String firstName = 'Shekar';
  console.printf ( ''%s' is printing a java program','firstName');

Hi Chandra, no quotes needed for %s and the variable name. So it would be like this : (‘%s is printing a java program’, firtsName)
