I don't get this part, string formatter?

I don't remember I learned this part in this chapter?

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Shane";

String message = 

console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n", firstName);

You've apparently already completed the challenge, but the incomplete assignment of "message" isn't needed and is causing an error. Just remove that line and you'll pass.
