Courses Plus Student 303 PointsWhy isn't this code working?
I typed this out and it seems to work with the question but why is it getting an error?
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
import java.io.Console;
public class Introductions {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
}
}

String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
