Can you please tell me what is wrong with this code because it always says in the console "Hello, my name is ..."
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? ");
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s/n",firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write Java/n",firstName);

5,604 PointsThis sounds like an issue with the new code being saved and compiled. Even though the new code was written in your .java file it was not compiled into a .class
Make sure that the new code is saved (file->save or ctrl+s), and then type in the console, replace "filename" with whatever your file is called
javac filename.java
Then run the program as you would normally:
java filename
Let me know if this works, take care and happy coding!

5,604 PointsHi there, I compiled the code and ran it and I didn't have any issues. It prompted me to enter a name and the output was:
"Hello, my name is Mike Mike is learning how to write Java"
Could you please explain what you mean by the "it always says in the console 'Hello, my name is ...'"
