how do we start the code?

i am starting writing code using import java.io.console command but its not working?

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
import java.io.Console;

public class Introductions {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();
        // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
   String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name  ");
      /*its style bro*/
       console.printf("Hi, my name is %s\n", firstName);
      console.printf("%s is good boy\n", firstName);
    }
}

In code challenges, they will often provide you with all of the code needed to begin programming. Sometimes they will hide that code to make it less confusing.

// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
// Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name  ");
/*its style bro*/
console.printf("Hi, my name is %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s is good boy\n", firstName);

Notice I removed your import statement. In the first comment, they said they already imported it and set it to the variable 'console'. For this reason, I also removed your console statement. I then removed your class and main methods.

From here you can finish the rest of the tasks.
