I am trying to see what is wrong..
The previous question asked to print out the command <YOUR NAME> can write in java (or whatever it says.. this post is blocking the question). This question here is asking me to replace the name with a string formatter. and I have no idea why it is not compiling. Any help?
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Holden";
console.printf("%s can code in Java, firstName");

It looks like the way you are formatting your code.
It should look something like
firstName = "Holden";
console.printf("%s can code in Java", firstName);
Small error, but java is unfortuantely very picky.

Good luck with it! let me know if you need any help.
