Java Java Basics Using your New Tools Fix the Errors

Which band? Mach 2

I am still stuck on Challenge task 4 of 4.

I have added the declaration...

String bandName = "The Police";

and have changed the last line to...

console.printf ("Which band? ");

rather than console.readLine("Which band? ");

I receive the following error...

JavaTester.java:123: error: cannot find symbol if (!band.startsWith("RESULT")) { ^ symbol: variable band Location: class JavaTester 1 error

I know it is one small detail to correct but cannot find the solution. Any assistance would be appreciated.

FixMe.java 
 String firstName = "Gordon";

 String lastName = "Sumner";

 String bandName = "The Police";

 console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);

 console.printf("Which band?  ");

Sorry this is giving you so much trouble. I just wanted you to add the String declaration to the line, it was the missing error:

String band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

Should pass with flying colors.

Hope it helps! And sorry for the frustration!
