17,742 PointsError: cannot type quotes in java-repl on Mac
Trying to type in the line: String firstName "Craig" in workspace on a Mac fails, cause there is no way to type in a " or a ' in the console.
(in the same workspace I can edit a file and enter a quote there, so it's something to do with the console itself)
Ps: when I go to http://www.javarepl.com/console.html I get a similar problem, but there a return after a quote makes the quote visible. In the workspace console this doesn't work

Treehouse TeacherHmmm...perhaps you are missing the equals:
String firstName = "Craig";

17,742 PointsHi Craig, thanks for you reply. the equals doesn't solve the trick, neither does a space after the quotes.
I found my way through the course by typing in the commands in the files and then copy/paste to the console.
