39 PointsCorrect order
for this challenge task:
Output a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using a single statement. It should look like this: name really past tense verb this coding exercise.
I am receiving the below response:
Bummer! Make sure you are passing name
and pastTenseVerb
to the console.printf
in the correct order.
However I am not seeing how the order of name, pastTenseVerb are not in the correct order. Given the structure of the sentence and what is said in the video, and what worked on the workspace. This is in the correct order.
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("name ");
console.printf("%s", name);
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("pastTenseVerb ");
console.printf("%s", pastTenseVerb);
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);

String name = console.readLine("name ");
//console.printf("%s", name);
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("pastTenseVerb ");
//console.printf("%s", pastTenseVerb);
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);
I commented out the first two printf statements and succesfully passed the challenge with your code.
Hope this helps!

39 PointsThanks! that makes much more sense than saying than questioning the order of their use.
