1,504 PointsCode not exiting when "dork" is inputted
I am unable to get the code to stop and print out the message when inputting "dork" for the noun.
String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equals("dork")){
console.printf("That Language is not allowed. Exiting \n\n");
System.exit(0);
}

1,504 PointsI was trying to follow along with the video, which is why I used equals, and I will keep in mind the %n, but I need t figure out why this won't work.
