no idea about this question.

it asks to replace <YOUR NAME> USING STRING FORMATTER.

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "shehan";
console.printf ("%s can code in Java",firstName);
console.printf ("%s",firstName);

Apparently you can't have space between printf and ( parentheses, so the code:

String firstName = "shehan";
console.printf("%s can code in Java",firstName);

I also removed second printf as unneeded, although the problem is in the first one.

And for me error is:

Please make sure you leave your printf statement intact

So I don't know how to reproduce:

replace <YOUR NAME> USING STRING FORMATTER.

But code above should work.
