Java Console error

Question

Can anyone please explain why this code is throwing a NullPointerException? https://code.sololearn.com/c9ZxBC4OiVvP/#java
I think I know, it's because when I called System.console() the console couldn't be initialized but why is that?

Answer 1

Martin Taylor ooh I see because there's no console attached makes sense. Thank you for the clear answer!
