Changed format

I've changed the format and it still not working for me.

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Mike";
consel.printf("Mike can code in Java");

Your second line has console spelled wrong. You should try it like:

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