Messy.java

import java.util.*;

        System.out.println("one");
        System.out.println("two");
        System.out.println("three");
        System.out.println("four");
        System.out.println("five");
        // Please comment out this line and
        // this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
        List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
        for (String numberWord : numberWords) {
            System.out.println(numberWord);

Hi Chris,

Only two things there. Firstly, and this doesn't affect the challenge result, you were asked to use a multi-line comment for those two lines. Use /** and **/ rather than just //.

Next, the reformat should have organised your imports. You are inly using Arrays and List, so the compiler is expecting those two imports, rather than the generic util.*;.

My code looks like:

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

public class Messy {
    public static void main(String[] args){
      System.out.println("one");
      System.out.println("two");
      System.out.println("three");
      System.out.println("four");  
      System.out.println("five");
      /** Please comment out this line and
      this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting **/
      List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine");
      for (String numberWord: numberWords) {
        // Use the sout shortcut to write out numberWord;
        System.out.println(numberWord);
      }
    }
}

I hope that helps,

Steve.
