11,054 PointsNeed help with java -version code challenge
Below after running the java -version it is not accepting my results even though it is Java 8. No option for skipping the challenge either, which I would prefer not to do anyway. If I misunderstood the question please let me know. I think maybe this is a bug though. Please help! Thanks!
# Paste your info below
chris@chris-s5713w ~ $ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-3ubuntu1~16.04.1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

C:\Users\MarkM>java -version
java version "1.8.0_111"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_111-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.111-b14, mixed mode)
your is saying openjdk instead. I suspect you the challenge is looking for ORACLE jdk by you downloaded a different jdk ... download and install ORACLE jdk and you should be able to pass the challenge
if this answers your question, please mark question as answered
