1,183 PointsI'm doing an exercise called Output a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using a single statement.
When I run my code, but it kept said that my code doesn't look like the output's format. name really past tense verb.
// 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("past tense verb");
console.printf("*%s* really *%s*", name, pastTenseVerb);
