402 PointsPassing 2 variable in a single sentence
Output a sentence that takes both the name and past tense verb using a single statement. It should look like this: name really past tense verb this coding exercise.
where am i going wrong?
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
console.printf("%s", name);
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a pastTenseVerb: ");
console.printf("%s", pastTenseVerb);
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise.", name, pastTenseVerb);

Treehouse TeacherHi Sujata! You are definitely understanding how to print out strings using variable names! So that part is 100%. But the problem here is that you are printing out 2 more lines than the challenge asks for, which is making the challenge fail. It only wants the very last console.printf in your code, not the first two.
Removing the extra two console.printf statements will cause your code to pass! Good luck!
