Java Java Basics Using your New Tools Multiple Strings

errors coming up when I am typing exactly what Craig is typing.

I am watching the "Multiple Strings" video in the Java course. I have followed exactly what Craig is doing and I am getting multiple errors.... when they shouldn't be popping up. My Code:

String name = console.readLine("Enter your name:  ");
  String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
  // String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
  // String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb:  ");
  console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);

It is telling me it is "expecting identifiers" and that i have "illegal start of type." I promise that in the rest of my code, I have closed brackets so it can't be that I am missing something. Not to mention it's craigs exact code.

I ended up figuring out that it was my fault after all. It seems like as much as we'd like to think we have the whole thing under control, there's actually an error on our part. Haha I forgot to add the "public static void main" part. :P Thank you though!

Can you copy the whole file into here, please? We should be able to fix that!

Glad you got it sorted.
