For the second task, the challenge is expecting something like console.printf("Mike can code in Java!"); instead of console.printf("Mike");

wow thanks for all your time..please if you dont mind keep helping..Ill make sure im saving before compiling and the obvious misspellings..but i know it was giving me errors back for semicolons that were there and it just didnt make sense..Ill definitely post the code and link the screenshot but it seems that the screen shot doesnt get the console in the link just the terminal..
