There are actually a few things going wrong here.
- You have a typo in the
printf()
method. - For some reason, you have <> around the
%s
placeholder. Those should not be there. - You haven't attached the variable to the method needed to populate the placeholder with the value.
I strongly suggest you have a quick review of the last video and then give the challenge another go.
Keep Coding!
