Hey there Filipe,

You misspelled the firstName variable in the printf() statement. The original variable has an upper-cased 'N.'

Keep Coding! :dizzy:

tks for the reply ,

i try both 'n' and 'N'

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

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