127 PointsIs my code wrong?
The tutorial video wasn't working so I jumped ahead to this challenge. I Google-searched around and followed the instructions in this article: https://www.dotnetperls.com/format-java
This article showed me a way to format strings that apparently is different from the way that was taught in the video tutorial which I had missed. The code prints out the correct output, yet the verifiability checker still marks this code as incorrect.
I would like to know how the instructor taught this concept so that I can get good marks from the verifiability checker in future challenges using this concept. Thank you.
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Joseph";
String formattedString;
formattedString = String.format("%s %s", firstName, "can code in Java!");
console.printf(formattedString);
