Error in my TreeStory workspace

This is the code I entered: String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);

Craig, What error are you getting? The code looks good,, what are you typing in the console to run the code.

I guess the brackets on the bottom complete the code. I had deleted them.

Thank you for your help.

Craig, My workspace works with the code, have you checked the other code in the TreeStory class to see if your missing a bracket or a semi colon. Below is the code I used:

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!
        */
      String name = console.readLine("What is your name?  ");
      String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:   ");
      console.printf("%s is very %s", name, adjective);

    }

}
