While working within the Workspace I ran into a problem with using the ||(or) command. It only works for the first "if" statement and not the others. I have gone back over 20x to see if I did something wrong but everything check out. What could be the problem? Could it be just a system or software error?
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: "); String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: "); if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork")|| noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk")|| noun.equalsIgnoreCase("nerd")) { console.printf("That language is not allowed. Exiting. \n\n"); System.exit(0); }
