"readline(...)" method name is incorrect; 'l' is being used instead of 'L' in the method name. You can try the following:

console.readLine("Enter your name: ");

Remember Java is case sensitive and also Java uses camel casing with its class method as well

I do not see anything wrong with your answer. You should contact MOD.

String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");

Try to copy and paste from mine to see if it will work. If it doesn't, contact any of the TeamTreehouse Staff.

Hi Paul!

It may be helpful to read up on CamelCase a bit, here are two informative links that could be of use to you:
