The answer is:

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Ravi";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Remember if you get stuck on a challenge, there are usually (unless the course is new) a lot of existing posts for a given challenge including code (see https://teamtreehouse.com/community/code-challenge:3492 ). Questions about java can take a while to get a response, so looking at existing posts will often save time.
