Description Paul Deitel 2016-10-16 12:47:36 UTC 
When you enter a statement such as

   printf("hi there");

the statement executes correctly, but the JShell window shows a red exclamation point icon indicating a "cannot find symbol" error.

Of course, printf is defined by JShell to call System.out.printf.
