So what am I doing wrong?

[Kenster102.5]

I am just trying to create an easy template for me to follow when it comes to inputing names, but since last year I learned Ready To Program, for some reason this year I have to learn Doctor Java, so could somebody kindly just point out what I need to change.
Thanks
Ken

code:

import java.io.*; public class KenName {   public static void main ( String args [])   {     String name1;         System.out.println("Who is this? Please enter name");                         name1 = readLine(); /*This seems to be my problem */                         System.out.println("This is, " + name1);                           }   }

You're not calling readLine() on an object. You need to make use of a BufferedReader object like this example shows.

Also, I think you need to label "throws IOException" when you are using something from "java.io.*".
