to place a variable into a String
you need to place a placeholder character in your String
in the spot where you want to place said variable. The placeholder for String
values is %s
so for this task the string has to look like this:
console.printf("%s can code in java" , firstName);
The %s
will be replaced by the contents of the firstName
variable by the printf
method when it prints the String
.
Also I think your caps-lock key might be on by accident. Based on the capitalization of your title and post.

to insert you name in the program.
so your code should actually look like console.printf("%s can code in java", firstName);
