When I validate my ans,it says it is wrong String firstName="Joph"; console.printf("%s",firstName);

When I check my answer, it says there is an error. But when I check the preview, it doesn't tell me what is the reason for error.

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName="Jophin";
console.printf("%s",firstName);

Joph;

You aren't outputting the string that the challenge is asking for. It wants the output to be "Joph can code in Java!". Make that adjustment to your code and you should be fine.

Happy coding,
