629 PointsWhat's wrong with my code? Here is the video: http://bit.ly/javaquestion
Here is my 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!
*/
//__Name__ is a __adjective__ __noun__. They are always
String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
if (age < 13) {
//Insert exit code
console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun = "";
do {
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")) {
console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try Again. \n\n");
}
} while(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
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);
}
This is the same code the teacher has at like the 3:15 minute mark, and from a Jeremey Hill I got some help and I tweaked the code by two suggestions from him. Is there anything wrong?
This is the error message I'm getting.
TreeStory.java:37: error: reached end of file while parsing
