5,404 PointsAh I see. Ok on line 6, you define the variable FirstName as a string. Well strings need to be wrapped around double quotes like so:
String FirstName = "Samaila";
If you want to set FirstName to the variable Samaila, you can do so like the way you did. I hope this helps :)

5,404 PointsYes, the second parameter should be the string you want to put.
console.printf("%s is happy learning", FirstName);
The %s is a placeholder for a string, so after that you put the variable you wish to put there.
