38 PointsIs there something wrong with the treehouse software?
Its saying that I'm wrong, but after checking the editor I saw that I accomplished the task. Check out the screenshot
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName="yourName";
console.printf("Toni");
console.printf("canCodeInJava");

38 PointsIt was the 3rd challenge of Intro to Java track path. I noticed other challenges not compiling as well, no matter how many times i checked the code and took even a picture of the instructor's code and still nothing. I would keep getting a weird error message below the console section. It's very disconcerting especially someone that is new and has spent hours a day really trying to learn this language.

They are looking for the expected output, which would include spacing, capitalization and punctuation. But those aspects are missing or different in the string shown above.
If you revise your strings to output the sentence just as shown you will pass the second task.
Then for the 3rd, task you need to output the contents of the "firstName" variable instead of a literal string.
