Part 1: You need to define a string variable called firstName and set it to your name. Part 2: You need to call a printf() method on console object. Then you pass two parameters to the printf() method : firstly the string that is to be printed with a placeholder in it(for your name) as %s. secondly: the firstName variable that holds your name.

Hope this helps

I think this is what you are looking for:

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

String firstName = "Oliver";

console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Please let me know if this helps!
