Beginning Java
import java.io.Console;
public class ab { public static void main(String[] args) { Console console = System.console(); String name = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
console.printf("My name is %s\n",name);
}
}

If you are on the Eclipse IDE you don't need the Console Object you need to import and use Scanner Object (from java.util package) instead.
//import util package
import java.util.*;
public class ab {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter your name: \n");
//when prompted at the bottom terminal enter your name and hit enter button to proceed
String name = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.printf("My name is %s\n",name);
}
Cheers Sir

Thanks for your query.
Please let us know if you are running this code on the IDE (Eclipse or Intellij) or is it on Workspace.
Thanks,
