The Prinf method problems for Java basics is keep telling me I am wrong. What is the basic setup of this IDE?

Is there a standard setup I need to do for programming in this IDE?

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

String firstName = "Sheena";
console.printf(firstName);

Hi Sheena,

There is nothing to set up in Challenges, it's all done for you. However, instructions for each challenge are very specific, and the code checker is very picky.
For this challenge, the instructions for the task say to print a string that is exactly "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!" ... but you are only printing "<YOUR NAME>".
So, you just need to print the exact string the task is looking for.

Hint: Here you will also need to use a placeholder in the printf string.

Hope that helps. :) :dizzy:
