Thank you everyone! I figured out I wasn't saving it prior to editing it.

Hey Kim!

Did you compile your code correctly? Also take a look at this line:

<p> Console console = System.console( );</p>

Don't you have a blank space in the brackets?

Hi Kim,

I was able to copy your code and run it without error. As Maciej mentioned, did you compile it first before trying to run it? Below are the two steps to compile and run, inside the Console window.
