I wasn't sure why this code isn't working. import java.io.Console;
public class Introductions {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
// Welcome to the Introductions program! Your code goes below here
String firstName = "Neeta";
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n",firstName);
console.printf("%s is learning how to write Java\n",firstName);
}
}

Courses Plus Student 10,192 PointsThis one is a little tricky to answer, so hopefully this will not confuse you. The issue is that "System.console()" will return a null if you are not running this via a command line. If you run this via some sort of IDE, there may not be a command line console. Some IDEs allow for this though i believe and it may work. I "think" Eclipse lets you set a command line argument like "-console" but not 100% sure. (i use intellij).
So to fix it, you can use System.out instead. here is what the code would look like:
public class Introductions {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Welcome to the Introductions program! Your code goes below here
String firstName = "Neeta";
System.out.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);
System.out.printf("%s is learning how to write Java\n", firstName);
}
}
