Really struggling with the question don't understand what to do exactly

I don't understand what to do in this challenge. Do I have to write the whole line of code or just specific one's ,or neither. can someone walk me through this challenge Cause I think i'm over thinking it. Is my line of code wrong or not what the question ask?

Thanks

String firstName="jimmy";
console.printf ("my name is %s, firstName ");

Hi Jimmy, everything you've done is correct. The only error here is the " you put behind the firstName variable. Move it so that it is right after the %s and before the comma. So it should look like this

String firstName="jimmy";
console.printf ("my name is %s" , firstName );
