Ken Alger
Treehouse TeacherWelcome to Treehouse!
As you work your way through the challenges they are all rather literal in terms of what they want the output to be. For example when the challenge says for the output to: It should look like this: name really past tense verb this coding exercise. It would want the output to be Sam really enjoyed this coding exercise. Assuming that the inputted name was Sam, and past tense verb was enjoyed.
So, for this challenge you would want your code to look similar to:
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: "); // Task 1
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Past Tense Verb: "); // Task 2
console.printf("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb); // Task 3
I hope that helps and makes some sense.
Happy coding,
Ken
