Hi

There is a Console Library that you would normally import into you project before you can reference it in your project.

The problem is stating the following:

// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you. String name = console.readLine("enter somethin");

meaning that someone did this for you (pseudo code)

import java.io.Console; Console console = new Console();

and now you can do:

String name = console.readLine("enter somethin");

if this answers your quation, please mark the question answered.
