The Solution

1:35 with Laura Coronel

This is how I solved it! How'd you do?

  • You might've noticed I used %n for new line, instead of the escape sequence \n. The reason for this is that Windows and Unix based systems (Like Mac and Linux) use different newline sequences. %n makes the proper distinction.

    Okay. So how did you do again? Don't worry. 0:00
    If you had some sort of struggle, it's totally natural. 0:03
    And you're growing and honing your skills through that process. 0:06
    So here's how I did it. 0:10
    I needed to create a string name place, and the place 0:12
    I chose is called Kwik E Mart. 0:15
    So there we are. 0:19
    There's Kwik E Mart inside of a string literal. 0:20
    And then I use the read line method off of the console object. 0:24
    Note that it is CamelCase. 0:29
    It’s readLine - two words jammed together with an uppercase L, 0:31
    and I left a few spaces behind it so the user can type on the same line. 0:37
    And then finally we used print F to print formatted text. 0:43
    Right. 0:46
    And these S's. 0:48
    Here are the placeholders that line up with our first name 0:49
    and place string variables. 0:53
    And I added a percent n to break into a new line. 0:55
    And then we can of course run it. Right. 1:00
    We can say clear and and Java 1:03
    C greeter dot Java. 1:06
    And we're going to run it with Java greeter. 1:10
    And here we have it. 1:16
    It asks what is your first name. 1:18
    It's Laura. 1:20
    Hello Laura, 1:22
    Welcome to Kwik E Mart. Great. 1:23
    How did you do? 1:25
    Did you have the same solution or did you take another approach? 1:26
    Keep practicing as practice makes perfect. 1:30
    I'll see you in the next one. 1:33
