5,735 PointsWhat am I doing wrong at step 3
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Anne";
console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
I did step 1 and 2 right, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong at this step.
I did change the string-value, but it keeps saying: Pleade make sure you leave your printf statement intact. But I did that.
Can anyone help me?

5,735 PointsThanks for your help. It's strange becouse the second line of code passed in step 2 (with the extra space).

23,733 PointsGlad I could help! It is strange. Java actually doesn't mind the space. You can even put more spaces there and it will compile and run.
