Hi. I can't get my Java code to work in the console.
Here's my Java:
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!
*/
//Name is a __adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb__.
int age = 12;
if (age < 13) {
//insert exit code
console.printf("Sorry but you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");
console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n-----------------\n");
console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name, adjective, noun);
console.printf("They are always %s %s. \n", adverb, verb);
}
}
Here's the console output:
javac: file not found: Treestory.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options
What should I do please?
Thanks in advance.

SO I think you just need to rethink your logic here, as the program is doing what it is told. Have another go now, and let me know if you got it.

Thanks
