// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName="Manole";
console.printf ("Manole can code in Java");

Courses Plus Student 858 PointsPut %s as a "placeholder" for the String variable, then after the quotation marks put a comma ( , ) and after that put the name a.k.a identifier of your String variable (firstName). It will look like this: console.printf("%s can code in Java", firstName);
This can be done with multiple Strings as well, just put %s to each point you want, then after a comma list each String in the desired order separating each String with a comma. Good luck learning!
