Hi Hung,

You do not need to create a new console because java.io.console has already been imported. If you remove that line I believe the code will run.

A good place to run down errors is in the editor window. You can access it by clicking the editor<> button. I copied your code and received the following error when running:

variable console is already defined in method run()

// The code below is for Challenge Task 1 of 3.
String firstName = "Nick";

// The code below is for Challenge Task 2 of 3.
console.printf("Nick can code in Java!");

// The code below is for Challenge Task 3 of 3.
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

ag,

Console console = System.console(); //This is ok String firstName = "Hung"; //This is ok console.printf = ("Hung can code in Java!"); //This is a bug It supposed to be ((console.printf("Hung can code in Java!");)))
