Like in many other languages formatters share a common practice which involves using special placeholders such as %s which denotes a string or %f which denotes a floating point value, for this challenge we simply need to pass firstName as an argument and use %s to include the value as part of the string.
What you should up with is the following.
console.printf("First Name: %s", firstName);
Happy coding and Merry Christmas.
