import java.util.*;
public class Messy {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("one");
System.out.println("five");
System.out.println("six");
System.out.println("four");
System.out.println("two");
//Please comment out this line and
//this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
for (String numberWord: numberWords) {
System.out.println(numberWord);
// Use the sout shortcut to write out numberWord;
}
}
}

/*
*Please comment out this line and
*this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
*/
