Error in my TreeStory workspace

This is the code I entered: String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);

Craig, What error are you getting? The code looks good,, what are you typing in the console to run the code.

I guess the brackets on the bottom complete the code. I had deleted them.

Thank you for your help.

No Problem glad I could help you solve the problem. Can you mark a best answer so that people know that your problem has been solved!

Craig, My workspace works with the code, have you checked the other code in the TreeStory class to see if your missing a bracket or a semi colon. Below is the code I used:

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 name = console.readLine("What is your name?  ");
      String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:   ");
      console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);

    }

}
