This is my answer on the second task and it says it is wrong : printf(firstName,"can code in Java!"); why?

printf(firstName,"can code in Java!");

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Juan";
  printf(firstName,"can code in Java!");

Hi Juan,

You are not using a corect syntax. Write console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName); and it will work.
