Hello Justin, Can you share your code or your workspace to understand what is going on?

If your code is same as codes on video, you should be sure you compiled Introduction first.

javac Introduction.java  <-- compiles the java file
java Introduction <-- runs the java file. (be careful that .java extension not required to run if you have compiled before)
            ```

I have the same issue. It looks like he doesn't accept the console.printf("example"); It seems like the compiler is ignoring it.. -.-

If anyone else starting this course is having this problem, make sure you save first! (Silly, but I forgot this and thought there was an issue with the compiler), then compile then run the class.
