What does it mean my spelling is wrong? I wrote console.printf

It keeps telling me my answer is wrong, I don't understand?

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Cara";
console.printf("<%s>", firstName);

Hi Carolyn,

What they want you to do, is print out sentence in format "Your name can code in Java!". Like this:

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