so the first line should be String firstName = "Will";
and the second console.printf("%s, can code in Java!", firstName);
good luck

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

console.printf("Hello my name is %s", firstName);
The program will take whatever you made firstName be and put it inside the quotation marks where you put the s. You were close, you're going the get the hang of this. :) Happy coding!
