console.printf(firstName + " can code in java");
So instead of having the same name always showing up (hard coded), you can change the variable and it will print accordingly. That way if you have alot of code that uses the same name in different parts, instead of changing the name for every item, you just change the variable once and done! That's one of the basic uses of variables.
Hope that helped!
