Hey Aaron

The challenge just wants the output and not the function call -- however, it looks like even with just the output it doesn't work.

I have a few guesses as to why:

  • The Java challenge does not like the format that the mac spits out
  • Java version "9" raises a red flag. It's not following versioning standards.
  • build 9+181 raises a red flag. It's not following versioning standards.

Here is what I get when entering java -version in my console (and it passes):

java version "1.8.0_91"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b15, mixed mode)

To investigate a bit further, could I get you to provide a screenshot?

Thanks!

Matt

Hi Matt,

Thanks. I copied someone else's answer to pass this challenge.

Can I leave the screenshot here? Can't seem to find a place to insert image though.

Looks like you will need to host the image somewhere and use markdown to show it.
