I think that, sometimes, Java can be complicated. Don't worry, though, sometimes the answer is right in front of our faces! Remember, the basic setup is:

String myName = "Andrew"; // Creates a string with my name
console.printf("Hi, %s.", myName); // Remember that the comma is OUTSIDE the quotes. Java is case sensitive.

I sincerely hope this helped.
