compiler not run

whenever write the code do not run although it is right it is the same syntax of the explained code

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
//import java.io.console;
public class car{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Console console = System.console();
  String firstname = "esty";

You shouldn't need to setup your own Console object- treehouse already has that taken care of behind the scenes. I'm thinking all you need to write is:

String firstName = "esty";  // notice that I performed camel case on your variable name.
console.printf("my name is %s", firstName); // I removed your new line character also- it wasn't needed here.

This is what is needed to pass the challenge:

// this is the entire code that you need to write- it isn't asking you to write the entire program.
String firstName = "Some Name";  
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
