Treehouse TeacherFirst a data type:
String
Then the name :
firstName
Then to set the variable you do
=
And finally the value surrounded by double quotes
"Craig"
Statements end with a semicolon;
Hope it helps!

5,250 Pointsthanks it worked,but errors are still occurring in the next step which wants me to call the printf function on the console object and make it print out "<My name>code in java,,,,i typed console.printf("My name is %s\n",firstName );

Treehouse TeacherLook at the instructions carefully. I think it asks for "First name: %s"
