String firstName = "Francis";
//Challenge Task 2 of 3
console.printf(firstName + " can code in Java");
//change the code frome challenge 2 into code below
//Challenge Task 3 of 3 after replacing <YOUR NAME>
console.printf("%s can code in Java ", firstName);
//replace your name with %s = String formatter and put firstName aftrer "",
I hope it helps
