afra raheem what step are you on?

step 1 you just need to define your name

String firstName = "bob";

step 2 they want you to print it out with the message

String firstName = "bob";
console.printf("<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!");

Step 3 is the replace

String firstName = "bob";
console.printf(String.format("%s can code in Java!", firstName));

you don't need the class , or the main method for the challenge.

Try: You had a ; after the method and missing a {

public class Name {
  public static void main(String[] args)  {
       String firstName = "Afra";
      console.printf("firstName");
    }
}
