Output on Quiz Challenge Console

The same code I've been trying to execute on Work Space and it did execute but it does not Quiz Challenge Console. I would appreciate if someone helps me in resolving this?

Name.java
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
//import java.io.Console;

public class Name {

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        Console console = System.console();
      String firstName = "Mirza";
        // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
        console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);

  }
}

You have your import statement commented out...everything else looks right....heres my code:

import java.io.Console;

public class PrintYourName {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Console console = System.console();

        // Your code goes below here

        String firstName = "Mirza";

        console.printf("Hello, my name is %s\n", firstName);

  }

}

Thanks, bud! I tried that as well..okay hang on tight will check now.
