The issue in this case is that you have an extra space in your string between %s
and can
, and also that you forgot the word in
before the word Java
.
If you fix those typos like this:
String firstName="geo";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
Then you'll be able to pass the challenge.
