You can't share a direct URL to your workspace, it's temporary and only exists while you are using it.
But you can use the snapshot function in the workspace and provide the link to that.

You'd need to show the code along with the error for an accurate answer, but one common cause for an error occurring at the beginning of a line is when the semicolon was omitted on the previous line.

If that's not it, post the code (with Markdown formatting).

You need to call "printf" on the instance (lower case "console") instead of the class itself, and you may also want to add a newline to finish the line:

      console.printf("Hello, my name is Kike%n");
