Define a string variable named firstName , illegal start of expression

It worked when I added:

import java.io.Console;    

before:

public class Name2 {

Let me know if it works!!

Hi Nick & Admire

Does this query relate to the first coding challenge in Getting started with Java?

If so and the question is Define a string variable named firstName that stores your name. Set the value to your name.

Then yes all of the fancy class work has been taken care of (at this point) all you need is the string declaration as below:

String firstName = "Stephen";

Hope it helps!

Stephen

Thanks for the answer but not working again! I try many things and i am so confused!

This is the code that works for me:

import java.io.Console;
public class Name2 { 
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
String firstName = "Nick";
}}

I copy- paste you code and this happend in output.html.

JavaTester.java:52: error: illegal start of expression import java.io.Console; ^ JavaTester.java:52: error: not a statement import java.io.Console; ^ JavaTester.java:53: error: illegal start of expression public class Name2 { ^ 3 errors

Any answers ? i keep compile with erros and i can not find a solution.

Is this on a challenge?

If so, Craig might have already done:

import java.io.Console;
public class Name2 { 
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();

for you.

Hello Admire i love team spirit lets do ti , here is my code and ISAIAH S , is there any difference from yours:

import java.io.Console; public class Name { public static void main(String[] args) { Console console = System.console(); String firstName = "Nick"; }}
