Java Web Development Techdegree Student 5,507 PointsHELP! stuck on local environment challenge
Does anyone know why my code isn't passing, I'v been stuck on this for a while now and don't know why. Its telling me to remove all the TODOs from the code and I have, But still want pass. Any Suggestions?
package com.teamtreehouse;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// write your code here
Prompter prompter = new Prompter();
Template tmpl = prompter.promptForTemplate();
prompter.run(tmpl);
}
}
// After you've completed the TODOs locally paste Prompter.java here

# 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

Not sure if that's it though.
