im stuck on this part! I'm not understanding what I'm doing wrong.
String firstName = "firstName";
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("firstName can code in java!\n");

There are three parts to the challenge - the first part is just declaring a string with your first name, which you've got.
String firstName = "firstName";
The second part is using console to print out a string without using the variable.
console.printf("<firstName> can code in Java!");
The third is where you'll have to substitute the <firstName> portion in part two with your string variable created in part one. I'll leave this last part for you. Let me know if you need further clarifications.
