21,422 PointsIt looks like if you get rid of your first printf function you should be good. It has the string formatter, but no string to populate it at the end of the expression. Your second printf looks like it is constructed correctly.

10,636 PointsAgreed, one thing to note is that the challenge is picky about the strings it wants you to display. So make sure you construct the sentence exactly how they want you to. Meaning itll want the exclamation at the end, Java should be capitalized and you can remove the comma.
