Courses Plus Student 315 PointsError while running correct code.
Unable to solve the question "Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out " can code in Java!" ?"
My Code - String firstName = "Pawan"; console.printf("First Name : %s", firstName);
Error - Bummer! Check the spelling of your argument to the printf method. Make sure it is printing out what the instructions are asking for.

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

Courses Plus Student 555 PointsThanks Brandon but
I am sure as please check the code
import java.io.Console;
public class MyConsole {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String firstName ="Alex";
Console console = System.console();
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
}
}

10,325 PointsI have never seen anyone construct a console as you do here. The printf comes straight from the System object. "System.out.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);". You do not need to import or declare a console object.
The other problem could be that you are using the name Alex which does not match your name of Saifaldeen, and treehouse is checking against that name.
