Hi Justin,

can you provide the error as well? This usually contains valuable information.

Also, did you provide all code? Because in the code provided your are missing curly brackets to close.

Best regards

In the console it just says ONE ERROR every time i try to run the code. however now that you mention its probably because i miss a curly bracket somwhere. thanks for your help.

Hey Justin,

I see your error. If you check out your very last console.printf() command, you have "adverd" written instead of "adverb". That will fix your error. :)

My pleasure! :)
