you use the console in workspaces but do not need to in ide's

Just use the System.out.printf method to print

public class Introductions {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Welcome to the Introductions program! Your code goes below here
    System.out.printf("Hello, my name is Craig");
  }
}

Also use Scanner for input from user and such.

It looks like you need to add a String variable and have your printf statement print out hard coded String and add your variable to the end like this:

String firstName = "Craig";
console.printf("Hi, my name is %s!", firstName);

I'm assuming that is what your are trying to do.

If you are using a IDE, I would go with using a Scanner object like anil is saying. I never have much luck using a Console object in my IDE.

Yeah, never seems to go as well, random errors haha, i still prefer using scanner anyway for reading and such so much easier. :)
