I'm trying to practice but the console. method is not working in compiler that im using. Help!

I like to practice what i learn for at least 2 hours but sometimes i just don't have the time to log into treehouse to use my workspace, nor do i want to download a bunch of software onto my laptop. So, I did a quick google search and i found a free online java compiler but when i try and use the console method it does not work. Here is the web address: ( www. tutorialpoint.com/compile_java_online.php ). Any help would be of great use, thank you

Hello,

You must add import -java.io.Console;- before your class. And in your main method, you must say -Console console = System.console();- After these your console.printf should work.
