360 PointsHow do I store the result of `console.readLine` in a variable?
Hi I'm a begginner doing Craig Dennis Java Basics course. Im at task 2 out of 3 and I get this message "Looks like you forgot to store the result of console.readLine
in the pastTenseVerb
variable." and I'm at a loss.
Here's what I've got so far.
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter adjective: "); String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter past tense verb: "); console.printf("%s is very %s and he %s it", name, adjective, pastTenseVerb);
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter adjective: ");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter pastTenseVerb: ");

I tried it again- you need to delete your adjective request in order to pass 2 of 3. On the last exercise, make sure you use console.printf instead of System.out.printf. You should be golden after that!

17,896 PointsHmm... Your code looks fine; I tried it and it worked. Maybe it's because the test is getting confused with your adjective variable? I'd try cutting that if it's still not working.
Hope this helps!
