20,885 Pointscould you please try this, I do not have an answer why the console readLine, always gives an error, it does gives me too, but I am seeing it as an issue for so many, and the recommended class is scanner, try the below code, which I have shaped, as per to your requirement, and as per to fit into java terms, where there will be no errors
package com.example.java;
import java.text.NumberFormat;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.io.Console;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Console console = System.console();
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
/* 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!
*/
int age = 16;
if (age < 13) {
//Insert exit code
System.out.println("Sorry you must be at lest 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
System.out.println("Enter a name: ");
String name = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter an adjective: ");
String adjective = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter a noun: ");
String noun = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter an adverb: ");
String adverb = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");
String verb = s.nextLine();
System.out.println("Your TreeStory:\n--------------\n");
String result = String.format(name, adjective, noun, "\"%s is a %s %s. \", ");
String result1 = String.format("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
System.out.println(result);
System.out.println(result1);
}
}
