3,160 Pointsi only get compiler error on my exercise please help me.....
the exercise wants me to create a variabel called name and that it holds the value that the user types. The program says compiler error for everything i write, i even tried only typing String name; and it still says error. My solution to the exercise is following: String name = console.readLine();
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine();
