Since you have quotes around the comma and firstName variable, it's treating the entire thing as one string. printf is expecting the first argument to be the string you want to format, and the following argument(s) to be the values to fill the placeholders with. So you'll want to write it like this:

String firstName = "YourName";

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