540 Pointsjava basics- task 3 of 3
Challenge Task 3 of 3 Now replace <YOUR NAME> in the console.printf expression with the firstName variable using the string formatter.
****Bummer: Make sure you add the %s formatter *****
String firstName = "Kira "; console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName); console.printf("%s is learning how to write Java\n", firstName); console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
If iam using the %s formatter as asked in the task, why is telling me to make sure i add the %s formatter?
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named consoles
String firstName = "Kira ";
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write Java\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

3,819 PointsI think the problem is that you have a space after your name. Make it “Kira” instead of “Kira “ and I think it should work. Computers are smart but not that much, I think that because of that space you can’t pass the tests :)
