What is wrong with this? console.printf("Alyssa can code Java"); its keeps giving an error

I was asked to call the printf method on console and it isn't working. I wrote console.printf("Alyssa can code Java"); but it keeps giving an error about spelling

Hi Alyssa,

It is indeed spelling error, as your task in this challenge was to print "Alyssa can code in Java" (you've omitted the "in" word).

Just add "in" and it should work fine ;)
