Lets say you have a String text which stores the word, "apples," and you want to print out, "I love apples."
Then your code would look like: String text = "apples"; console.printf("I love %s", text);
You use %s to indicate where you want the String to appear in the print out, and pass the variable name of the String as the second argument.

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