Not sure, why it's wrong.

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

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Frank";

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

Hi Javier,

this is an old bug :)

Delete the space between the printf and your ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

And it should do the trick
