Teamtreehouse's workspace does not work as it should..

I can't write those "or" ( || ) symbols, or in genereal symbols which require the help of the button "Alt Gr". I can do it in this question field, but not in the workspace.. I can't figure out, why it is like that, as I can see that Craig is doing just fine, when he is typing those symbols.

Hi there,

Are you following along with the REPLin the workspace window as I think he intended you to try those operators there in your code.

To access the REPL open the console in your Workspaces window and type jshell.

Good luck! :-)

There's something they call REPL to get into it just open the console in your Workspaces window and type jshell. that's all you need.

Maybe I am 'underthinking' this, but the '||' 'symbol' isn't a symbol, at least not on my Windows and Mac laptops. it is two 'pipe' characters, that is two clicks of the shifted back-slash key above the return key. Hope you get going soon!
