I do notice that in the later challenges they are going to be very picky about what you right, as in the next one they ask for "<your name> can code in java" and unless that's what passes even if the code is completely correct i.e. you accidentally forget to change it and pass "Hello my name is %s \n",firstName it will say that it is wrong because it did not see the exact string it was looking for.
Something to look out for.
Great job getting it right besides that though!
