There's nothing wrong with what you did except that the string in printf is formatted incorrectly. It should be:
console.printf("Hello, My name is %s\n", firstName);
However, you did more than the code challenge required. Below is all that is necessary to pass the code challenge:
String firstName = "Asif";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
There is a note in the code challenge that says an variable called console is already set up, so you don't need to create another one.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions!
