String firstName = "Philip";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
See how you can replace the %s format with a string variable. Let me know if you have any questions.

At this stage, you are hard-coding your name into the output string. The reason your code is failing is because you have capitalised Console
. The object is called console
with a lowercase 'c'. Change that, and your code passes task 2.
The next task (3 of 3) will use placeholders, as Philip has suggested.
Steve.
