- correct the spelling of your variable name as you have a typo. Should be firstName, but you have fristName.
- firstName should be joined to the second string using a + sign, rather than a comma.
- the second string should begin with a space character, so that the final output has a space between your name and teh rest of the sentence.

Start with quote "%s can code in java", then put firstName. Also as Stuart said you have a typo when you wrote variable firstName. Looks like this:
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Mark";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
