Hi Gilbert

What is the exact error you receive (if any)?

I pasted your code (as below) into a new file in workspaces called test.java and it worked fine.

Stephen

import java.io.Console;

public class test {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Console console = System.console();

    // name is a adjective noun. They are always adverb verb.
    String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
    String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
    String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
    String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
    String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");

    console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n-----------------\n");
    console.printf("%s is a %s %s.   ", name, adjective, noun);
    console.printf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
  }
}
