Apparently, java can't find my symbol. What should i do?

Console console = System.console(); In that line of code, it points to the capital "C" of console. What is the issue here? It looks just like Craig's code.

Hey Abe,

Did you remember to import the Console library? It should look like this at the top of the Prompter class: 

import java.io.Console;

Best,

Jacob

I've got the same problem except for the arrow that points to the dot between System and console at System.console();
I've already imported java.io.Console; what's the problem then!?!? o and btw I get this message:

./Prompter.java:11: error: cannot find symbol
Console console = new System.console();

symbol: class console
location: class System
