204 PointsJava Basics: Challenge Task One
It's tell me, "Bummer! Please make sure you leave your printf statement intact." Even thought it is intact...
Am I just being stupid?
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Bernard";
console.printf ("%s can code in java!", firstName);

There is no mistake in your code! It happened for me and I think this is the treehouse's compiler problem.
Solution : Removing the space of after printf.
Hope this helps you:)

5,121 Pointsthere is no compiler issue here. when accessing any method you must use the name of the method followed immediately by(). printf is a method and it must be written like this >> console.printf("");

16,108 PointsIn challenge task2, printf with the space works correctly. However, it doesn't work in task3. Would you tell me the reason why?

5,121 Pointscakypa3 okay so on question 2 there is a bug with the compiler. for Bernard just remember to put the parentheses directly after the name();
