I've done the right thing. I've even written the code multiple way but I keep getting to that I am wrong. I have even tried separating the two lines with the \n function and although the preview shows I'm doing the right thing, I am told that I am wrong.
Please help.

console.printf ("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Remove the spaces between printf and your arguments.
Working example:
String firstName = "Jacob";
console.printf("Jacob can code in Java!");
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
