from the challenge, copy what you wrote so far and then paste it here

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
      String firstName = "Omar" 
        console.printf("Hello, My name is %s\n"firstName);
      console.printf("%s, is learning Java\n"firstName);

i put comments in the code below

String firstName = "Omar" ; //forgot a semicolon here
console.printf("%s can code in Java!",firstName); //you didnt write what the instructions said to do
                                  // ^^ you forgot a comma there as well

Thank you ^^
