Java basics course Im stuck already with my first hello world. I get some errors when I run javac

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
    console.printf("Hello, my name is Lamar");

} }

What error is it throwing? It looks like it should compile and run as is.

That's not an error. That's what comes up when you compile the program with javac using the console in workspaces. Now to run the program type in

java Introductions

That should work.
