The three steps of this problem would be done like so:

String firstName = "Adnan";

console.printf("Adnan can code in Java!");

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

In the second step, you should actually replace <YOUR NAME> with your actual name, in this case, Adnan.

In the third step, you need to use the String placeholder (%s) in place of your name and then follow the string "%s can code in Java!" with the variable firstName.
