339 PointsWhy isn't the console outputting my text?
So, I have done everything right, but when I type "java Introductions", the only output I get is " Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m "
I noticed that the "=" in the line "Console console = System.console();" is red in my workspace, while in the video is with gray. Do you think it's a platform problem? I haven't changed anything else. Here's what I did:
import java.io.Console;
public class Introductions {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
// Welcome to the Introductions program! Your code goes below here
console.printf("Hello, my name is Dennis");
}
}
and Console:
treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
ls
treehouse:~/workspace$ ls
Introductions.class Introductions.java
treehouse:~/workspace$ java Introductions
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Xmx128m
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx128

339 PointsSorry for the trouble guys. I forgot to hit Save after I wrote the code. After I saved and compiled again it worked.
