418 PointsOn challenge task 3 of 3: My answer is: console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName). Am I doing this right???
On challenge task 3 of 3 for the Name.java questions, my answer appears to be unacceptable. I'm wondering what am I doing wrong after reviewing the video several times.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Brandon";
console.printf ("Brandon can code in Java!");
console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

String firstName = "Brandon";
console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
// is the same as
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

12,556 PointsThey want you to surround your name in ">" and "<".
They are expecting the output string "<Brandon> can code in Java!" using %s and not hard-coded.

418 PointsThanks! I also figured out that there shouldn't be a space between console.printf and the open parenthesis. Thanks again.
