Encode Base64 cannot find symbol error
<p>It gives me a error when I try to compile it in terminal. It prints out this error:</p>

<pre><code>-bash-4.1$ javac CPS3498/HW_Ch2/encrypt.java
CPS3498/HW_Ch2/encrypt.java:9: cannot find symbol
symbol  : class Base64
location: package java.util

                ^

        String encryptedValue = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(encVal);
                                ^
2 errors

<p>I completely lost on how to fix this problem. I have tried different java utilities to compile and they all give me almost the same error. </p>
