%s error

Place the %s correctly but still incorrect

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Roselyn";

console.printf(" Hello, my name is '%s'", firstName);
console.printf(" '%s' can code in Java!", firstName);

There's no need for the single quotes around the %s. Also the challenge only requires one of those printf statements. It can get quite picky sometimes. It only wants the

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