1,815 PointsI think your challenge program has an error itself. It keeps telling me I am not using %s when I am.
I check the console to check for errors and it gives me none, yet I can't go on
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("What is your name");
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a verb");
System.out.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.",name, pastTenseVerb);

for the last line.

instead of console.printf()
. The problem was that System.out()
doesn't do %s
. And in my case, I had console.readLine()
instead of console.printf()
.

1,409 PointsI agree. I re-did the challenge, and this code should work, but it's not:
All it's saying is: 'Bummer! Looks like you forgot to use the
%s
formatter'.
