3,040 PointsError in task description possible?
Hi there,
Any chance that the system is generating an error in the task description? Instead of my name the task is asking me to prinft "<YOUR NAME>. Also, the whole sentence makes little sense:
Call the printf method on the console object and make it write out "<YOUR NAME> can code in Java!"
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks in advance, Dominic
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Dominic";
console.printf ("%s", firstName);

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