I must be getting really tired now, I can't seem to spot the problem , guess i've done too many hours straight today :(
import java.io.Console;
public class TreeStory {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
/* Some terms:
noun - Person, place or thing
verb - An action
adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
Enter your amazing code here!
*/
String ageAsString = console.readLine("What is your age? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
if (age < 13){
console.printf("Sorry you are too young. \n");
System.exit(0);
}
{String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); do { String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: "); if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("Dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("Jerk")) { console.printf("That language is not acceptable, Exiting program \n"); }while (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("Dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("Jerk")); } String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: "); String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: "); console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n--------------\n"); console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name , adjective, noun); console.printf("They are always %s %s. \n", adverb, verb); }
