I am using Eclipse IDE and following all the challenge tasks but in the last one I am kinda stuck...It keeps asking to reformat the code and import java.util.; even though I have made the reformat and imported the java.util.;
Any thoughts on this??
import java.util.*;
public class Messy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("five");
System.out.println("one");
System.out.println("six");
System.out.println("four");
System.out.println("two");
// Please comment out this line and
// this line as well with a hotkey that does multi-line commenting
List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight",
"nine");
for (String numberWord : numberWords) {
// Use the sout shortcut to write out numberWord;
System.out.println(numberWords);
}
}
}
five
one
six
four
two
[six, seven, eight, nine]
[six, seven, eight, nine]
[six, seven, eight, nine]

Also, you will want to use the commands craig used to order the correct numbers. (on windows it was control + shift + up arrow/down arrow)
Secondly, the System.out.print("Three") is missing, and you'll want to add that.
Next, go ahead and instead of commenting out each line individually highlight both pieces of the code that need to be commented and hold Control + shift and press / to comment out both of those lines in a multi line comment, instead of individually.
Lastly, just fix the for loop to count where your System.out's leave off ( 5-10, you'll need to hand key "ten" in)
It should look something like
List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "ten");
for (String numberWord : numberWords) {
System.out.println(numberWord);
Thanks, let me know if this doesn't help.

Treehouse TeacherHmmm...you really should be using IntelliJ, but couple of things....
Does the results.txt output look ordered to you? Do you see any problem? Looks like you might be outputting the wrong variable, and didn't move lines around properly.
IntelliJ will auto-expand that * import. Pretty sure Eclipse has something similar. (Try Organize Imports)
