I can't happen to figure out why the program still exits even when dork is not used, copied the code in the video.
Code:
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: "); if(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork")); { console.printf("This type of language is not allowed. Exiting program... \n\n"); System.exit(0); }
