Hi Apoorv,

the 'S' should be capitolized ex. String not 'string' also, firstname variable should be 'firstName' in each console.printf statement.

PS- don't use the single quotation marks i used these to help.

console.printf("apoorv is learning java\n",firstname); --> also, replace your firstName with %s in each console.printf statement. %s replaces your having to type your name. you can put it in there anyways but you def. need the %s %s should be first in 1st console.printf statement.

good luck!
