Hey Seth,

Can you post your code? I'm currently only seeing the default console comment.

If you're stuck, here's an example:

String lastName = "Proffer";
console.printf("%s is my last name!", lastName);

I'm declaring a String variable called lastName that stores my last name, "Proffer". I then print out, "Proffer is my last name!" by using the printf method. Any String variable we pass into this method will be printed where %s is found.
