Hi there! Keep in mind that challenges can and will require you to sometimes return a string that matches exactly what they are expecting. In your case, you're printing out just your name. But the challenge explicitly says to print out "<your name> can code in Java!". Remember, these can be extremely strict and even require correct spacing and punctuation. So your console line should look like this:

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

Good luck and happy coding! :sparkles:
