'printf' is not working in my system, other print formats are working. Any possible suggestions...

Hi Ken, In my eclipse, printf method always gives trouble. Here is an example: Thanks in advance.
Benny.

package useful;
import java.io.Console;

public class IoName {

    public static void main(String[] args)  {

        Console console = System.console();

        String firstName = "Benny";

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

        console.printf("%s loves Java Programming\n", firstName);

    }

}

Thanks Ryan. I am using java 1.8.0_25

I had some prior knowlage in java before I came here. This is normally how i set up and print a program.

class example { public static void main( String[] args ) { System.out.println( "This is an example." ); } }

This should do the same thing as the program in this video that goes:

import java.io.Console;

public class example { public static void main(String[] args) { Console console = System.console(); console.printf("This is an example."); } }

Both these programs do the same thing, but I prefer the first one. I hadn't even seen the second one till I saw these video's. if console.printf dosent work for you, try System.out.println

Please see this post for further clarification.
