Now replace <YOUR NAME> in the console.printf expression with the firstName variable using the string formatter.

I don't understand why this keeps failing for me. Can someone please help

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Alex";

console.printf("%s Can code in Java!\n", firstName);

Ahh I didn't realize it would through that error just for a lower case "c" in the sting. Thank you so much for your help!
