Here a few hints: 1) Your code should count from "one" to "nine" 2) Two commended lines should be commented with key combination Ctrl+/ when commended should look like --> // Please comment out this line and // this line as well with a hotkey that does multi - line commenting 3) In Foreach loop -->

for (String numberWord : numberWords) { System.out.println("Just the check"); // Use the sout shortcut to write out numberWord; }

Do not just print "Just the check" --> instead use "numberWord" variable 4) remove import statement --> package com.myfirstproject;

Good luck!
