Every time I try running this program since putting in the do while loop I get errors 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 ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
if(age < 13) {
console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun;
do {
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")) {
console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try Again \n\n");
}
} while (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
}
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb: ");
console.printf("%s is a %s %s. They are always %s %s.", name, adjective, noun, adverb, verb);
}

5,604 PointsHello there, in the future please post the compiler error as it will make it quicker to get a response! I went through the code and it seems this there is an ending bracker "}" misplaced. Below is commented code showing the change:
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun;
do {
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")) {
console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try Again \n\n");
}
} while (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
//} <--- This was the original bracket location
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb: ");
console.printf("%s is a %s %s. They are always %s %s.", name, adjective, noun, adverb, verb);
}
} //This is the new bracket moved to the bottom
Hope this helps
