3,655 PointsHi You have couple of mistakes here that, I can see. First - you don't need /n as you use it to start new line, which in this case you don't need. Also firstName is not in "" as it doesn't need to appear as a text and is variable. Your code should look like this:
String firstName = "Meteib"; console.printf("My name is %s.", firstName);
(Sorry, I'm not very good at explaining, but if you compare both codes you will see the difference.)
