Printing lines using Java

I am following the instructions using the workspace but my text won't print in the console. Am I missing something?

import java.io.Console;

public class Introductions {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Console console = System.console();
        // Welcome to the Introductions program!  Your code goes below here
        console.printf("Hello, my name is Craig\n");
        console.printf("Craig is learning how to code in Java\n");
  }
}

What commands are you running in the console to run your program?

Adan;

If that is indeed the command you are using try:

javac Introductions.java && java Introductions

instead. The && tells the command line two run the first command, javac and then run the second command, java. You also need to make sure to capitalize Introductions when using the java command as that is how this particular Java class is punctuated.

Hope it helps and happy coding!
