Hi! You wrote the code correctly it just you wrote capital C in Console. It should be lowercase ;)

  String firstName = "Harold";
    console.printf("*(what is the symbol you have to call the parameter?)* can code in Java", *(what is the parameter you have to call?)*);

And you wrote so called hardcoded on your name in the text, you need to call parameter. Can you make it?
