Hey Timothy,

There are a couple things going wrong here.

First, the second part of the challenge wants you to print our a very specific sentence, but you are just trying to print out a hard coded string. The challenge states: "Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!" ... See the string it wants?
Second, while it won't cause any errors, it is a good idea to get into the habit of proper spacing in your code. This will make it much easier for others (and future you) to read it.

Below is the corrected code up to Task #2 for your reference. Have a look, and I hope it makes sense.

String firstName = "Tim";

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