203 PointsI keep getting the response reached end of file while parsing. I cannot figure out where I am missing a bracket.
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

*/
//__Name__is a __adjective__ __noun__. They are always __adverb__ __verb__.
int age =12;
if (age < 13); {
//Insert exit code
console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
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 adjective: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending in -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);
}

Check for other syntax issues as well. For example, I would not expect to see a semicolon between a conditional expression and the brace starting the code block.

203 PointsHi, I made them equal and the new code is below, but it still does not work. I need more help. I have been stuck here for over two days and need a bit more guidance because I am not seeing the answer.

Also, the line that assigns the "verb" was correct the first time but now it is missing a semicolon.
