Why can I not continue even though I have the right answer?

I cannot move forward without getting this correct and I have done it several ways and the preview shows I am correct. Please help!

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

When doing code challenges you must follow the instructions to the letter. You're mässing the word "in" in your print to the console. Take a look:

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

Hope this helps! :smiley:
