public class Introductions {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();
    // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
    console.printf("Hello, My name is Taher");

} }

First: it is import java.io.Console;

In these first challanges you dont have to import the console or create a new instace of it. just use console.printf(YourStringHere);

Hey I need help with this code I keep getting an error: class, interface, enum, expected? Let me first explain what im trying to do? I am trying to create a program that will simple ask my daughter a set of question randomly, calculate the answers that she inputs as correct or incorrect, End once the five questions are asked and final tally up a score of correct/incorrect answers. can anybody help me please? here is what ive started below:

import java.io.Console; import java.util.Random;

public static final void main(String[] args) {
  int MAX_QUESTIONS = 5;
    Console console = System.console();
    String[] questions = Questions.shuffled();
    int numberOfQuestion = 0;
    String numberOfCorrectAnswers = false;
    String numberOfIncorrectAnswers = false;
    String getAnswers;
    String startAskQuestions;
    Random question = new Random(startAskQuestions);
    String askQuestions;


public class lesson {
public String startAskQuestions;

public String startAskQuestion {
    questionFirst = console.out.println("What is your name? ");
    questionSecond = console.out.println("What is father's name? ");
    questionThird = console.out.println("What is your mother's name? ");
    questinFourth = console.out.println("What is your address? ");
    questionFifth = console.out.println("What is your brother's name? ");

} }

while (MAX_QUESTIONS < 5) {
        String startAskQuestions = questions.shuffled();
    } if ( numberOfCorrectAnswers > numberOfCorrectAnswers) {
        continue;
    }

    String askQuestions = startAskQuestions 

}

}
