The challenge task asks me to "call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in java " but I don't understand the question so I'm stuck.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

In this part of the challenge you only have to print textually "Juan can code in java!":
String firstName = "Juan";
console.printf("Juan can code in Java!");
In the next part of the challenge you should indeed use the placeholder for strings (%s), however remember to add the variable you're trying replace in the placeholder:
String firstName = "Juan";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
