The code is perfectly fine you just need to add a dot between 'Console and printf' . You're on a good learning speed. The only correction that I see you should pay more attention to is your syntax errors.

Thank you very much it worked. Small things really matter when it comes to syntax.

Only thing I see wrong with this code is it is missing the dot in 'console.printf'

You need console.printf
