abdulkadir,

1) import the library that allowed the console to work (((import java.io.Console;))) 2) declare an object of console to be used ((( Console console = System.console();))) 3) start use it (((console.printf or console.readLine)))

You have declared the (((String firstName= kadir;))) without the quotes (((String firstName= "kadir";))) and you have declared the (((system.printf("",firstName);))) with lower case S in system and without the specifier "%s" to point at the String like that (((System.printf("This is my name %s", firstName);

Please try: String firstName= "kadir"; System.printf("This is my name %s", firstName);
