you should put placeholders like %s for strings or %d for digits inside the quotes.
For instance:
String myName = "Andrey";
console.printf("My name is %s", myName); // will output My name is Andrey

8,041 PointsHello, what errors are you getting?
Your variable is called "myFirstName" and the challenge is asking for "firstName" ... might be part of the issue.
Also, and more important... your console.printf has an extra (")

console.printf("My name is %s",myFirstName);
