Local Development Environment - Doesn't accept my answer.

I'm being asked to copy the result after doing java -version in the terminal. I'm pasting what I get and it won't accept it. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong.

results.txt 
Michaels-iMac:~ jebadeiah$ java -version
java version "9"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9+181)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)

I got it to work by fibbing it. I changed the answer to:

Michaels-iMac:~ jebadeiah$ java -version java version "0.9.0_00" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9+181) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9+181, mixed mode)
