Can someone help me spot the error in this code?

Question about the task

Under discussion

I've looked it over several times, and I can't find the tiny mistake in it. Thanks for your help, kind stranger!

Display the following text (two lines):
This is a Windows path: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin" This is a Java string: \"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_172\\bin\"

Hint:
\" – Escape sequence for double quote character.
\\ – Escape sequence for a backslash (\) character.

Requirements:

The program should output text.
Two lines must be displayed.
The first line of text should be: This is a Windows path: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin"
The second line of text should be: This is a Java string: \"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_172\\bin\"

package com.codegym.task.task03.task0316; /* Escaping characters */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print("This is a Windows path: "); System.out.println("\"C:\\ProgramFiles\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_172\\bin\""); System.out.print("This is a Java string: "); System.out.print("\\\"C:\\\\ProgramFiles\\\\Java\\\\jdk1.8.0_172\\\\bin\\\""); } }

The your output, when you run the program has to match exactly with the output that the task expects. You can very easily copy and paste them next to each other to compare: 1 - This is a Windows path: "C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin" 2 - This is a Windows path: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172\bin" 1 - This is a Java string: \"C:\\ProgramFiles\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_172\\bin\" 2 - This is a Java string: \"C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.8.0_172\\bin\" 1 marks your output 2 marks the correct output
