Hi Kenan, Do you have the rest of your 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("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); }

}

OK, I ran your code and it works perfectly!
Maybe you have not saved and compiled the new code?
In the console window of your workspace, type:
javac TreeStory.java && java TreeStory

You are totally right, I forgot to save.

I guess I have to make it a habit. I keep forgetting lol, thank you for reminding me!
