Could Someone Please Help Me........I haven't had a response for a few days

Hi there, I'm trying to finish up this treestory challenge by completing the necessary todos. This code also has to go into my TreeStory2 IntelliJ project, and I really need some help. If you look in the video, you'll know what I'm talking about. I'm just really confused and don't know where in the world to start. If you could post some helpful advice and code that would be great! Thank you!

#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story

Hi Gabriel,

If I could help with the challenge I would, buy I have zero experience/knowledge with Java.

Two things you can try to solve your problem.

1- In the challenge, highlight and copy the question (half of it if it is really long) and click the "Get Help" button and paste what you copied into the box and then click "next step." More times then not, this will return at least one other question posted by students. Click on the question link and see if you have an answer there. I've been stuck a few times in other languages, and have always been able to find some other questions that had answers that led me the right way... you just need to be specific in the search and use important key words... that's why I copy/paste the actual question (though I've found more results by copy/pasting the key part of the question)

2- If searching the forum fails and you still haven't received a response from other students that was helpful, you can always request help from the Treehouse staff via the Treehouse Support Team. Make sure you include a brief description and the link to your original forum post.

I understand that getting stuck is very frustrating, and I hope this helps you.

Keep Coding! :)
