It's stating the answer is wrong however when previewing the Java code and executing it it shows correctly.

The test is wrong, I am right. Please help :(

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Robert";
console.printf("%s can code with Java!", firstName);

The challenge checker tends to be pretty strict when it comes to strings. You have to type exactly the same words they give as an example. You have written "can code with Java!", but the challenge asks for "can code in Java!". If you fix that issue like this:

String firstName = "Robert";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Then your code will be accepted.
