8,810 PointsString firstName = "Rasmus"; console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName); Why can't I pass?
It tells me that I have I need to leave the printf-statement intact?
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Rasmus";
console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

28,558 PointsThe code checker for these challenges can be very picky, not just about the result of your code but the way the code is actually written as well. Due to the way the test for the last task is written it only accepts your code if there is no space between the method and its parenthesis. Like this:
String firstName = "Rasmus";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
While having a space between them is valid in Java it is pretty rare. It's far more common to format the code like shown above, which is why the code checker expects the code to look like that.
