I have not been able to grasp they way it should be written in the console. for example do I need to type public class console and public void main to use printf?
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
public class console{
plubic static main (string [] args)
Console console=system.console();
String firstName = "Chris" ;
Console. printf("%s",firstName);
}

You've done many mistakes let me point them out
you don't have to write the first 3 lines and the last line.
You shouldn't keep a space between console. and printf
after %s you should type "can code in Java!"
If you can't find it out go below
copy it if you like!
SPOILER ALERT
String firstName = "Vedang" ;
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

String firstName="Chris"; Console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
and resulted in
JavaTester.java:74: error: cannot find symbol Console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName); ^ symbol: variable Console location: class JavaTester Note: JavaTester.java uses or overrides a deprecated API. Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details. 1 error
