Hi there,

Have you saved & recompiled your Workspace?

Steve.

I did several times I wonder whats wrong

Strange - can you share your Workspace so I can fork it and see what might be the problem. (click the "camera" top-right)

Steve.

i have taken snapshot how should i share here

The snapshot gives you a link in the new window (its URL) - paste that in here. That lets me see your code but not amend it. I can then fork the Workspace to amend it.

Hi Roshaan,

I think your compiling should fail so your runtime/compiled code won't be changed until the compile is successful. It will fail because String needs a capital letter.

Change that and the compile should happen which will amend/update your runtime/compiled code.

Steve.

public class Introductions {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();

        string firstname="roshaan"; // <- that won't compile

        console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n",firstname);
        console.printf("%s is am learning java\n",firstname);
  }
}

yeah thanks steve

No problem! :smile:
