Code Error!

What is wrong with the following code:

String firstName = "Reem"; Console.printf (%s can code in Java\n", firstName);

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

Change java Console.printf("%s can code in Java\n", firstName); to java console.printf("%s can code in Java\n", firstName);

The capital Console is causing the issue.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Zac
