Is it possible to put two answers for the console.printf in one line instead of each having their own separate line?

Example: String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? "); String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? "); console.printf("Let it known that you are %s %s", firstName, lastName);

It runs fine in the workspace, but not in the challenges, which could help encourage students figure out ways to compress their answer into fewer lines.

Yes it is possible, workplaces look for specific criteria. I was failing iOS challenges for not using exclamation marks at the end of strings so they are obviously very particular.

Multiple lines are probably used in workspaces in order to emulate a form.
