I've done this but it keeps giving me the message "Bummer! Please make sure to leave the printf statement intact!"
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console;
String firstName = "Charles";
console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

8,712 PointsYou only need to remove the space between printf
and the parenthesis.
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

8,324 PointsHi charles,
you have to leave the 2nd printf statement intact with your name hard-coded in the printf statement. the printf statement you have will be the 3rd line of your code.
Hope this helps :)
Happy coding! kumar
