What is the problem in my code?

Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Sam";
console.printf("%s", firstName);

You're code is fine, but doesn't fully fulfill the instruction requirements. You need to complete the requested sentence, not just have your name be printed out. See below.

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console

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