However, if you run this code and look in the Console, it will print " %S can code in java/n, firstName". All you need to do it fix that string. Here's the steps you must do to pass the challenge (just for your information code challenges are extremely picky!):
- Get rid of the extra space in the beginning of the string (code challenges are super picky!)
- You said "java", change that to "Java" (Java is super picky about cases! Lowercase and uppercase letters are different in Java)
- And most importantly, you had the ", firstName" part of the string inside the string. In Java, it is required to put it outside and next to the string to make it another parameter.
Here's the complete code:
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Zack";
console.printf("%S can code in Java/n", firstName);
Good luck!
Hope this helps, Alex
