Hi there! Your logic is spot on, but you're using the incorrect type of quotation marks which is causing a compiler error. Also, you have a leading space in your string literal which might be causing a problem.

Your printf statement:

 console.printf(ā€œ Your table is ready\nā€);

Corrected printf statement:

 console.printf("Your table is ready\n");

Hang in there. You're doing great! Hope this helps :sparkles:
