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

the first argument is supposed to a string, and the second a value that should be embedded in the string, having them the other way around like you have in your code is not valid.
If you fix that issue like this:
String firstName = "Rich";
console.printf("%s can code in Java", firstName);
Then your code will work.

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