10,490 PointsWhich step of the challenge are you having problems on??
The first step asks you to "Define a string variable named firstName that stores your name. Set the value to your name."
They want you to do that under the commented line of code there.
The console.printf is the second step, and then you change it again in the third step.

1,140 PointsI assume this is for the second part of the exercise? You need to remove the quotation marks and the period.
In the first step you should have created a variable to store your name. i.e. String firstName = "Willis";
Therefore in the second step you should print the value stored in your string variable and then the remaining sentence "can code in Java!" i.e. console.printf(firstName + " can code in Java!"); [do not forget the space before the 'can' otherwise the value stored in firstName will be added right before the word can i.e. Williscan code in Java!]
