unable to submit my work

I don't know why is it showing errors. I have written down the code correct.

Name.java 
import java.io.Console;
public class Introductions {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();
        // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here

      String firstName="Neha";
      console.printf("My name is %s\n", firstName);
      console.printf("%s is my Name\n", firstName);

  }
}

Neha,

I have tried your codes: String firstName = "Neha"; console.printf ("My name is %s\n", firstName); console.printf ("%s is my Name\n", firstName); And it works with my both lines printed your name as expected. I think because you wrote it twice and the compiler expected only one line may ended in an error.

Hi, it seems you have skipped ahead in terms of how one writes such a program. Also note the comment provided by TTH when you first open the challenge.

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

String firstName = "bob";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);
