The only thing that I see about the code that you just added is that you have:

console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name, adjective, noun);

try adding the line break in there like this:

console.printf("%s is a %s %s \n.", name, adjective, noun);

Can you add your code from the challenge in. It will be easier to help you if we could see the code please :) Happy Coding
