6,675 PointsWhat error are you getting? And what is the question?
At first glance, your second printf has %s in it but you are not specifying what string it should be. Below is the correct syntax for making FirstName appear where the %s inside of the string.
console.printf("%s is learning to write java\n", FirstName);
All parameters need to be comma separated at the end of the function call. For example:
console.printf("%s is learning to write %s\n", FirstName, "java");
