what should i do???

this is the 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 ageAsString= console.readLine("How old are you?:  ");
  int age= Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
    if(age<10) { 
    //exit code
    console.printf("sorry you must be 10 to use this program./n");
      System.exit(0);
        }
  String name= console.readLine("Enter your name:  ");
   String adjective=console.readLine("Enter your adjective:  ");
  String noun;
   boolean isInvalidWord;
  do{
      noun= console.readLine("Enter your noun:  ");
      isInvalidWord = (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
                       noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
  if (isInvalidWord) {
      console.printf("Sorry, this language is not acceptable.Try again. \n\n");
    } while (inValidWord);
  console.printf("%s is very %s and %s", name, adjective, noun);
    } 
}

}

this is the problem:- TreeStory.java:32: error: while expected
}
^
TreeStory.java:34: error: illegal start of expression
}
^ TreeStory.java:34: error: reached end of file while parsing
}

I have couple of questions:

misplaced while in #"do-while"

if (isInvalidWord) {
      console.printf("Sorry, this language is not acceptable.Try again. \n\n");
    }} while (inValidWord); //---------------------------------->here
  console.println("%s is very %s and %s", name, adjective, noun);

}

Where did you closed your class:

console.println("%s is very %s and %s", name, adjective, noun);

}
//Missing one more parenthesis

Lastly, there are some undeclared variable.

if (isInvalidWord) {
      console.printf("Sorry, this language is not acceptable.Try again. \n\n");
    }} while (inValidWord);                           //---------------------check your code here
  console.println("%s is very %s and %s", name, adjective, noun);

}

Oh! also problem in #\n <=> /n

        //exit code
        console.printf("sorry you must be 10 to use this program.\n"); //--------------------->here
        System.exit(0);

Final Code:

public class treestory {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();

    String ageAsString= console.readLine("How old are you?:  ");
    int age= Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
    if(age<10) { 
        //exit code
        console.printf("sorry you must be 10 to use this program.\n");
        System.exit(0);
    }
    String name= console.readLine("Enter your name:  ");
    String adjective=console.readLine("Enter your adjective:  ");
    String noun;
    boolean isInvalidWord;
    do{
      noun= console.readLine("Enter your noun:  ");
      isInvalidWord = (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
      if (isInvalidWord) {
          console.printf("Sorry, this language is not acceptable.Try again. \n\n");
      }
    } while (inValidWord);
    console.println("%s is very %s and %s", name, adjective, noun);

  }
}
