I am not sure what to include in the brackets after System.out.printf("??") if that is what the error message is telling me which is: make sure you include the newline! I can't find anything on the video that explains it, enough. Thanks any help is appreciated. Paul
public class Programmers {
public void printMenu() {
String[] programmers = {
"Yukihiro Matsumoto",
"David Nolen",
"Grace Hopper",
"Linus Torvalds",
"You"
};
System.out.println("Choose a programmer:");
// TODO: Print out a menu by looping through the programmers array.
/*
The menu should be in the form of (each on a line of its own, starting with 1):
1. Yukihiro Matsumoto
2. David Nolen
...
*/
for (int i=0; i<programmers.length; i++){
String programmer=programmers[i];
System.out.printf("Yukihiro Matsumoto,David Nolen,Grace Hopper,Linus Torvalds, You");
}
}
}

Choose a programmer:
Yukihiro Matsumoto,David Nolen,Grace Hopper,Linus Torvalds, You
Yukihiro Matsumoto,David Nolen,Grace Hopper,Linus Torvalds, You
Yukihiro Matsumoto,David Nolen,Grace Hopper,Linus Torvalds, You
Yukihiro Matsumoto,David Nolen,Grace Hopper,Linus Torvalds, You
Yukihiro Matsumoto,David Nolen,Grace Hopper,Linus Torvalds, You
So you still need to change the code to include the line numbers and print each name by itself. And you can get a newline by using println, or with the code "%n".
