1,285 PointsWould printing with console object not work with println?
I tried doing this with println instead of printf. I just want to know if it didn't work because THEY were looking for printf exactly or it didn't work because console object doesn't work with println?

17,062 PointsHi lady carolina, I tries it my self and it seem that for some reason they want u to use console.printf instead of console.println for some reason that i donβt see. printf doesnβt print it in a new line , println does. this is the working code: int numberOfPeople = 3; if(numberOfPeople <= 4) { console.printf("Your table is ready"); System.exit(0);
