Why does he declare the variable "console"

Why does he have to declare the console variable in the prompt method to use conslole.readLine(); while in earlier videos he used console.readLine(); without declaring the console variable ???

I believe it was like this because the teacher did not want to confuse you with too much information. In the first stages of the Java programming, the console class was declared, but the user (You), have not been notified about this. Lately, when you got more familiar with Java, as programming language and had an understanding of objects, the teacher introduced you to the import.
