String firstName = "Juan";
console.printf("%s", firstName);

9,359 PointsThis is specified in the Java Naming Conventions (it's a recommendation/ best practice) One of multiple sources to read more about this: http://www.javatpoint.com/java-naming-conventions
In short:
- String is capitalized since it is a Class
- firstName is a variable name, should start with a lowercase letter, followed by CamelCase notation (every next word in the name starts with an uppercase letter)
