Java Java Basics Getting Started with Java Strings, Variables, and Formatting

Stuck on Challenge: Strings, Variables. I am failing to call the printf method on the console object. What's required?

My code is as follows

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console String firstName="Tinashe"; console.printf("%s",firstName);

I have tried different code but still I cant get anywhere. I am a beginner so its still a bit confusing for me.

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