629 PointsWhat's wrong with my code? It seems there are 9 errors, but nothing different from the teacher.
This 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);
}
}
What's wrong with it? It seems to be the same as the teacher's.

29,567 PointsI commented what I changed:
import java.io.Console;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class javaExample {
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 = ""; // initialized the variable with empty quotes here
do {
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")) { // removed an extra '||' here
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);
}
}

I took your comments and implemented them,
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);
}
