Hi there! You're pretty close here so I'm going to leave some hints.

  • Printf should be printf (note the capitalization)
  • Strings need to be exactly as indicated in the instructions including capitalization and punctuation!
  • The string should come first, then the comma, then the name of the variable to be inserted into the token

I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
