The compiler is objecting to the space after printf
and before the bracket. If you remove that, it'll work just fine.

2,620 PointsThanks a lot Steve,
So strange, task 2/3 was to make the line console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName); and it said Done!, even there was a space before the bracket so i thought that is not the problem. Anyways, baby steps in learnig are always like this :D
