Challenge Task 2 of 3

The exact same code works in my workspace, but its not working for the challenge task. Am I overlooking something?

Name.java 
String firstName = "Miriam";
console.printf ("%s", firstName);

Hello, you did it correctly however the task is asking you to print "%s can code in Java!" with %s being replaced by the variable of course. I think the task is just wanting the rest of the sentence in the print statement.
