Welcome to Treehouse!

Task 4 is asking:

Finally, uncomment the last line and correct it. This one seems to be missing something at the start of the statement. Press check work if you don't see it and view the compiler error.

The prompting code is:

// band = console.readLine("Which band? ");

Let's skip that last sentence so that we don't have an error, okay? :smile:

So the task sentence we should concern ourselves with is: This one seems to be missing something at the start of the statement. So our prompting code is missing something, hmm. How do we properly assign the variable band in Java? That variable will be of type String as the user input will be input as a string, correct?

Hopefully that points you in the correct direction. Post back if you're still stuck.

I forgot to ask what code you have tried... sorry about that lapse.

Thanks Ken and Ricky. Got it figured out. Amazing what taking a 5 minute break can do for your mind set!

Every statement in java starts with a string! The fourth statement does not start with a string; therefore, what is it a missing? _____
