351 PointsUsing the printf method to display my name.
I have tried this exercise many times and I cant figure out what I am doing wrong. I typed in console.printf("My name is %s", firstName); The string is set but this line doesn't work.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Lamoine";
console.printf("My name is %s", firstName);

The challenge is looking for output along the lines of Lamoine can code in Java! Make sure your output value matches what is called for. Your syntax looks good, just the minor change in the output text and you should be good to go.
Welcome to Treehouse and happy coding,
