Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,175 PointsIt means create reference to quote:
Returns the unique Console object associated with the current Java virtual machine, if any.
and put the reference in the variable console.
So that when you write console.println you execute method on that exact console associated with current Java Machine.
Feel free to check documentation:
