Don't know whats wrong or how to fix my very first challenge...

How should I do it? Thank you.

Name.java 
Import java.io.Console;

public class Name {
  public static void main(String[] args){
  Console console = System.console();

    String firstName = "Tomaz";

    console.printf("I am %s", firstName);
  }
}
