"Inside your if block, after printing, exit the program" I've been stuck for over an hr and can't figure it out in java?

Inside your if block, after printing, exit the program. But i can't figure out how to write the code in java how to exit. please help?

this is what i have...

int numberOfPeople = 3; if (numberOfPeople < 4); console.printf("Your table is ready."); System.Exit(4);

You need to remove the ; from after if (numberOfPeople < 4);

To get this working try

int numberOfPeople = 3; if (numberOfPeople < 4) console.printf("Your table is ready."); System.Exit(4);

or

int numberOfPeople = 3; if (numberOfPeople < 4) { console.printf("Your table is ready."); } System.Exit(4);

The 2nd approach is preferred.

it says that the System.Exit(4); is wrong... the period between system and exit is the error...

yes. it says that's wrong... or a "syntax error."

JavaTester.java:129: error: cannot find symbol System.Exit(3); ^ symbol: method Exit(int) location: variable System of type MockSystem 1 error
