I fixed some issues in TreeStory. Wanna check it out?

Here it is:

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!
        */
      //__Name__ is a __Adjective__ __Noun__. They are always __Adverb__ __Verb__ __Preposition__ the __Object of the Preposition__.
      String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you?  ");
      int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
        if (age < 13) {
          throw new IllegalArgumentException("Sorry, you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
        }
      String name = console.readLine("Enter a name:  ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective:  ");
        String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
        boolean isInvalidWord = (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || 
                         noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
          if (isInvalidWord) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("That language is not allowed.\n\n");
          }
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb:  ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing:  ");
String preposition = console.readLine("Enter a preposition:  ");
String objectPreposition = console.readLine("Enter a noun:  ");
String isAdjective = adjective;
adjective = isAdjective.toLowerCase();
String isNoun = noun;
noun = isNoun.toLowerCase();
String isAdverb = adverb;
adverb = isAdverb.toLowerCase();
String isVerb = verb;
verb = isVerb.toLowerCase();
String isPreposition = preposition;
preposition = isPreposition.toLowerCase();
String isObjectPreposition = objectPreposition;
objectPreposition = isObjectPreposition.toLowerCase();
char firstChar = adjective.charAt(0);
if (firstChar == 'a' || (firstChar == 'e' || (firstChar == 'i' || (firstChar == 'o' || (firstChar == 'u'))))){
  System.out.printf("Your TreeStory:\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\n");
      console.printf("%s is an %s %s. ", name, adjective, noun);
      } else {
      System.out.println("\nYour TreeStory:\n-----------------------------------------------------------------");
      console.printf("%s is a %s %s. ", name, adjective, noun);}
          console.printf("They are always %s %s %s the %s.\n", adverb, verb, preposition, objectPreposition);
      }

      }

This code will:

  • Ask how old you are

  • Throw an exception if you are under 13

  • Ask for a name, adjective, noun, adverb, a verb ending with -ing, a preposition, and another noun

  • Test if adjective begins with a vowel. If so, it will replace 'a' with 'an' in the following sentence:

  • Write out: ' Your TreeStrory:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

name is a\an adjective noun . They are always adverb verb preposition the objectOfPreposition . '

Thanks! I recently changed it to:

    Example: "over the fence," or "in the sky".
    Verb - An action.
