Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!

String firstName = "Nathan" console.printf("%s is coding in java.", firstName)

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

Hey Nathan,

There are no errors that I can see. The only difference is that the challenge is prompting you to say:

[name] can code in Java!

Instead of what you have written:

[name] is coding in Java!

Example:

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

Best,

Jacob
