Printf name translation

I believe that I followed all the steps correctly but the quiz isn't allowing access to the next part.

Name.java 
String firstName = "Brandon";
console.printf("%s\n firstName can code in Java!");

The errors was %s\n it should be %s%n and the way of using printf() method.

String firstName = "Brandon";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

I dropped the %n!
