JavaTester.java:127: error: illegal start of expression public class Introductions { ^ 1 error

Having trouble getting past this one error. I am looking back through all the videos and it appears that I am doing this correctly, yet it is not passing me, can anyone help?

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
public class Introductions  { 

  public static void main (String[] args)
  { 
    Console console = System.console();
    String firstName = "firstName?";
    console.printf("Hello, my name is %s/n", firstName);
    console.printf("%s can code in Java", firstName);
                   }
                   }
