Java Basics (Challenge Task 2 of 3)

In Java Basics (Challenge Task 2 of 3), “Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!”, I am writing:

String firstName = "Seth"; console.printf("My name is %s\n", firstName);

When it checks the work, it states, “Bummer! Check the spelling of your argument to the printf method. Make sure it is printing out what the instructions are asking for.”

However, when I check in the work space area, it works fine. Please advise.

OK. I did not read the question properly. Here is the solution:

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