Guys, I feel confused. I thought I had understood the Data types, Variables, all all these new words, but doing all the work Craigh did in the video I felt out of the way, Like... literally! . True, or false? what? I'm putting my english in doubt. so, can someone here would mind to explain me what are we doing in console? why are we working on it?
why not... console.print("jshjhjd"); or String name = console.readLine("jlkfdsljkf");

Treehouse TeacherHi Kerin!
Don't worry we'll start coding in the next video I was just showing of jshell which is a new REPL (Read Eval Print Loop) tool that let's you run Java without compiling. That stuff is all new and we're going to be using it to explore the language more.
In the next video I'll start coding just like we were, right where we left off in Java Basics ;)
Don't worry! Don't forget you can slowwwwww me down with the video controls too.
That help?

688 PointsThanks for answering this, Craig. It's very helpful. For me the problem was calling this video a refresher. Because it was a primer on jshell and not a review of Java Basics. I look forward to the next video.
