Michael,

I am not exactly sure what your question is, but it appears that your first and second lines are correct. I would tell you that the 3rd line is what needs work. When you are using console.printf you have to remember that to insert a string in a sentence you have to utilize the %s formatter. For example, ("%s World!", "Hello") --> will print "Hello World!"
