1st task: is to define(create) a String variable with your name assigned to it.

String firstName = "YOUR_NAME";

2nd task: Use the printf to format what will be printed to the console.

String firstName = "YOUR_NAME";
System.out.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

3rd task: 

String firstName = "YOUR_NAME";
System.out.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
