Hello Ajay, Your code looks spot on! You would just want to call on 'console' on your import line

import java.io.Console;

public class Integer { public static void main(String[] args) { Console console = System.console(); String Name = console.readLine("ENTER YOU Name "); console.printf("%s",Name);

} }
