Even if I did this challenge correctly than in the end it still says Bummer!

Also Get Help Button only works on first page of this challenge! So I cannot add my finished code via button:

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console String firstName = "Jakub"; console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

Try again.

I've tested the code and as I thought, it successfully passes the challenge. 

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

Just make sure you have no space between your console.printf statement and the parentheses.

Great, it worked. You were right, the space between was the issue.

Thanks for help.
