as an argument to printf()
.
You've got your format specifier but it doesn't have anything to display yet.
You can get it to work by passing in a variable as an argument to printf()
like this.
String firstName = "Laura";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
Make the string matches exactly what is directed in the questioning. :-)
