I don't know how to do it

Alaa;

Welcome to Treehouse!

You didn't mention which Task in the Challenge you are on, so let's walk through them, okay?

Task 1

*Define a string variable named firstName that stores your name. Set the value to your name. *

In Java the convention to define a String variable is: String someStringName = "Your String Value"

For this challenge then we would do:

String firstName = "Alaa";

Task 2

Call the printf function on the console object and make it print out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"

The challenge checking engine tends to be picky, so we want to make sure our output is exactly as requested, following punctuation and capitalization. The convention here is console.printf("What you want printed to the screen"); Which would translate for this challenge to:

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

Remember to not delete the code from Task 1.

Task 3

Now replace your name with the firstName variable using the string formatter.

This task requires the use of the string formatter, if you do not have a good grasp on this concept, I would encourage you to watch the video(s) again as it is a key concept for this course. As such, I will let you try to figure it out on your own, but post back if you are still stuck.

Happy coding,

Ken
