47 PointsNow replace <YOUR NAME> in the console.printf expression with the firstName variable using the string formatter.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Susan";
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n",firstName);
console.printf("I %s am learning Java\n",firstName);
console.printf("%s is talking in third person\n",firstName);
console.printf("%s hopes these commands are expressed correctly\n",firstName);
console.printf("%s can code in Java!",firstName);

The problem with your code is that in addition to the parameters of the Challenge's request, you've added an additional four printf statements. If you delete these and just include the requested statement, the Challenge will pass correctly.
Hope that helps!

12,842 PointsHi Evan, That's interesting to me that the code challenge can't recognize that the correct answer is inside her code. Do you know why the code challenge in Treehouse is so strict?

A Challenge should be strict in expected output because it's testing your ability to produce a specific result - which is extremely important in coding!
