I've done what we did in the video. The editor has no problem with my syntax. It also prints out correctly. What does the exercise want? Thanks.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Dee";
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s can code in Java!\n", firstName);

688 PointsWhat you have is the first task. That one was fine. The third task is "Now replace <YOUR NAME> in the console.printf expression with the firstName variable using the string formatter." I think I did that. Maybe I'm missing something.

Courses Plus Student 1,166 PointsIt just asks you to define a variable named firstName of type string and assigning your name to it, you do not have to print anything.
String firstName = "Dee";
That's it :)
