9,633 PointsAs oageletse90 said, using the string variable formatter, you can substitute the key %s
with a String variable, which has to be declared inside the parentheses, after a coma. as the code below:
String firstName = "Thomas";
console.printf("%s can code in java", firstName);
Happy coding!

Everything is ok, you only forgot to reference the %s that you have included on the paranthesis...
