import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

57,712 PointsFor completeness, here's my code that passes the challenge:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class Messy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("one");
System.out.println("two");
System.out.println("three");
System.out.println("four");
System.out.println("five");
/** 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(numberWord);
}
}
}

57,712 PointsHi Trell,
It might be that you're outputting "tree" not "three", perhaps?
The test is expecting a certain output which your code might not quite match. Try amending your line:
System.out.println("tree"); // small typo
I hope that helps,
Steve.

1,520 PointsThat was a good find. But It's still not working, even when corrected. Thanks again....

1,520 PointsI will work more with it later. But yea, I done all that you suggested already... Thanks again

Treehouse TeacherWhat error are you getting?
trell story
1,520 PointsBummer! Are you sure you ran the reformat code action? This seems suspect: import java.util.*
import java.util.*;
public class Messy { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("one"); System.out.println("two"); System.out.println("three"); System.out.println("four"); System.out.println("five"); /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(numberWord); } } }
I used the reformat code but I am still getting this "Bummer!" Error.. Its working on my machine fine!

57,712 PointsHi Trell,
If you look at one of my answers above, it deals with changing the imports away from the asterisk into two specific lines of code.
Can you amend that to see if it passes the challenge, please? That's what your error is pointing at.
Steve.

9,499 Pointsmaybe they want you to add the first five number strings to the array called numberWords. then delete the println's above it since the for loop is able to reduce the repetitive natture of all those println's.
List<String> numberWords = Arrays.asList("one", "tow", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine"); for (String numberWord : numberWords) { System.out.println(numberWord); }
The other thing I notices was they had a comment in the original code to use the sout shortcut to output the numberWord instead of the System.out.println()
