You're on the right track - just a couple of tweaks and you're sorted.

Try:

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

Sorry, that's the last step ... but you see what it is trying to do.

The second step is literally as it says in the question:

String firstName = "Arezki";
console.printf("<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!");

The last step then substitues the <> for your name stored in the initial variable.

I hope that makes sense!!
