I got this error message and I cant seems to fix it.
Bummer! Make sure you capture the results from the readLine in the String band
My code is String band = console.readLine ("Which band? ");

Sometimes the challenge verification system is, um interesting, at lets things pass that it shouldn't, but this is what the challenge is looking for:
Uncomment the lines and fix the errors.
// Sting firstName = "Gordon"; => TASK 1
String firstName = "Gordon";
// string lastName = "Sumner"; => TASK 2
String lastName = "Summer";
// console.printf("Hello %s", firstName) => TASK 3
console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);
// band = console.readLine("Which band? "); => TASK 4
String band = console.readLine("Which band? ");
Once a task is completed, you don't need to change it again for the next tasks... at least on this challenge.
Hope it helps,

Welcome to Treehouse Island!
The code you posted above:
String band = console.readLine ("Which band? ");
worked just fine for me for Task 4 of the challenge. Perhaps try to resubmit it.

I copied and pasted your code into the code challenge and it passed. Maybe refresh your browser window?

531 PointsI tried refresh browser, resubmit. Still not working.
When refresh it went blank again. I can't forward my course.

When you refresh your browser it resets the challenge and you have to complete it again from the start. Fortunately this challenge is not too typing intensive.
Have you worked your way back to Task 4? For that task all you really have to do is to add String to the beginning of the last line after uncommenting it.
Let us know if you are still stuck, your code looks good though.

19,287 PointsOK, time for desperate measures. Clear the cache and history in your browser.
Caroline Chayadi
531 PointsI did that and still no luck,
I use different browser and different computers. here is my code
// Sting firstName = "Gordon";
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name? ");
// string lastName = "Sumner";
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? ");
// console.printf("Hello %s", firstName)
console.printf("Hello %s", firstName );
// band = console.readLine("Which band? ");
String band = console.readLine("Which band? ");

22,307 PointsI had the same problem.
I was replacing the "Gordon" and "Summer" with console.readLine(). I wonder if that had anything to do with it. But, I copied the code above and it worked.
