:warning: Be careful about testing a challenge in an external REPL.
If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.

Remember that the challenge isn't just about creating code that runs. It must also serve a specific purpose. When you work externally you may not be testing for purpose with the same stringency that the challenge does.

If you would like help with this specific challenge, please show the code you were submitting.

Well, the challenge was to download the zipped code, run it in IntelliJ IDE, then run the submit task using Gradle.

My code for the printer task:

  public static void printChipmunksDeclaratively(List<String> chipmunks) {
    // TODO: Print out each of the chipmunks using the forEach method on Iterable
    chipmunks.forEach(s -> System.out.printf("%s! %n", s));
  }

My code for the whisperer task:

  public static void whisperSentencesDeclaratively(List<String> sentences) {
    // TODO: Use a method reference for Main.whisper in the forEach method of sentences
    sentences.forEach(Main::whisper);
  }
