I'm not sure why but the compiler is not liking your inverted commas. It isn't interpreting them as normal " characters, for some reason. They seem to be stylised characters so perhaps use a standard version? What keyboard settings have you got set?
Your code is:
console.printf(βYour table is readyβ);
which doesn't work but this:
console.printf("Your table is ready");
works fine. Very strange!
Steve.
