I have some errors in my code that i can't fix it.

The code :

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("Whats your name: "); String Adj = console.readLine("enter an adjective: "); console.printf("%s is very %s", Name, Adj);

}

First java variables never starts with a capitalized words. So try out this:

String name = your code;
String adj = your code; 
console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adj);
