I re-did the challenge, and this code should work, but it's not:
// I've imported java.io.Console for you. It is stored in a variable called console for you.
//task 1:
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
//task 2:
String pastTenseVerb = console.readLine("Enter a past tense verb: ");
//task 3:
console.readLine("%s really %s this coding exercise", name, pastTenseVerb);
All it's saying is: '
Bummer! Looks like you forgot to use the %s formatter'.
