Courses Plus Student 203 PointsHow do I use the string formatter to replace <your name>?
String firstname = "Rodolfo"; console.printf("%s can code in Java!, firstName");
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Rodolfo";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n, firstName");

Once upon a time I was a brand new and needed lots of help. Someday you will be helping others who are just getting started. I still have a lot to learn still. Glad to have been able to help you.
Best Wishes,

Courses Plus Student 13,401 PointsGood Afternoon Rodolfo,
When you enclose your variable in quotes it is considered part of the String. Move the quotes and your program should work fine.
console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n", firstName);
