2,600 PointsCompiler is picking up tow errors. Can't seem to figure out what is wrong here :o(
There seems to be an issue with line 31. Also mentions that Java cannot find a symbol on this same line
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!
*/
//Name-is_aadjective_ noun. They are always_adverbverb_ String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
if (age< 13) {
//Insert exit code
console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun;
do {
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIqnoreCase("jerk")) {
console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try again. \n\n");
}
} while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIqnoreCase("jerk"));
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
console.printf("That language. Exiting. \n\n");
System.exit(0);
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);
}
}

13,520 PointsYou have 2 typos:
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIqnoreCase("jerk")) {
// Here ^
// you typed equalsIqnoreCase instead of equalsIgnoreCase both on line 27 and 31
