Output remains the same no matter what i change in the code

When inputing a new console.printf("hello my name is craig"); command no matter what i change the sentence to it stays the same. I cant add commands either. It seems like it is compiling off an older instance of my code and wont update.

Your guess sounds reasonable. We can determine why you make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Make sure that you save your changes in the editor, using either the menu or the Ctrl-S shortcut. Then re-compile the code and run it. If that doesn't help, post that snapshot and we can take a closer look.
