28,558 PointsThe code checker doesn't like the fact that there is a space between your method and it's parenthesis. While it's technically valid to have that space in Java it is rare for most programmers to put a space between them like you have done. The challenge checker for this task was not designed to handle that specific scenario. If you remove the space like this:
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Kevin";
console.printf("%s can code in Java", firstName);
Then your code will pass the challenge.
