Hello,
I'm getting an error when trying to run this code:
String name = console.readLine();
I can't see the error in here.
Thanks!
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine();

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Bazilio De Oliveira! The readLine()
method takes one argument. Namely, it takes the string you want to print to the user. In this case, we're expecting them to input a name so I might suggest something like console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
Hope this helps!
