Multiple.java
// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name=console.readLine("name");
String pastTenseVerb=console.readLine("done"); 
String really=console.redLine("really");
console.printf("%s  %s  %s  ",name,really,pastTenseVerb);

Try to get rid of the String really line. all you need is the first two lines then you will need your print line. your print line. your print line should like this console.printf("%s really %s like this code challenge", name, pastTenseVerb);

Psst. look at this line very carefully.

String really=console.redLine("really");

What is the difference between the method that is called on console and your other lines of code?

(let me know if that hint doesn't help)

yes it helps me alot thanks dennis
