1,066 Points**[SOLVED]** My code doesn't work.
The code doesn't seem to work. I've typed it in, copied it from my workspace, and doesn't seem to work. I want to know why? Am I missing the opening code?
I just recently started Java coding, and I don't see how this could be wrong. Please help.
String firstname= "Amir";

1,066 PointsSo I resolved the issue. The question asked me for just the one line of code being
String firstname= "Amir";
Turns out the issue was the name 'firstname' the N in name needed to capitalized. Very case sensitive. Thanks for the answers though.

class SimpleClass{
public static void main(String[] args){
String firstname="Amir";
}
}

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsYou are correct Adam.
You code was 100% correct, except for the capitalization issue. Even though Jakub Łątkiewicz code is correct, you don't need the class for the challenge. In fact, if you put it in, the challenge will not pass.
A helpful tip: You will find as you progress through that the challenges are very picky and very strict. If you add something that wasn't asked for, or if you delete something that was pre-loaded, you get a Bummer.
Even something as simple as a missing period will often cause a Bummer! I've had times where I've spent so much time on a challenge only to realize that it was a misspelled word. Lol.
So, Welcome to Treehouse and Keep Coding! :)
