This is what I did!

var adjective = prompt("Please type an adjective."); var verb = prompt("Please type an verb."); var noun = prompt("Please type a noun."); alert("All done. Ready for the message?") document.write("<h2>There was once a " + adjective + " software developer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + verb + " the " + noun + "!")

I thought I did great just because I achieved the desired outcome. But after watching the solution video, what I did looked amateurish considering the amount of concatenation that I did to get the outcome.

I am really enjoying this lecture.

Code

Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

      ```html
      <p>This is code!</p>
      ```

var adjective = prompt("Please type an adjective."); 
var verb = prompt("Please type an verb."); 
var noun = prompt("Please type a noun."); 

alert("All done. Ready for the message?")

document.write("<h2>There was once a " + adjective + " software developer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + verb + " the " + noun + "!")

Way to go! This is learning at it's best!

tip:

Code Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of >backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.

    ```html
   <p>This is code!</p>
     ```

so, for javascript, you start with "```javascript"

I think you forgot the semicolons and the closing </h2> element.

Hi Adam,

Yes, it is working now.

Hi Antti,

Thanks for the tip!

var adjective = prompt("Please type an adjective."); 
var verb = prompt("Please type an verb."); 
var noun = prompt("Please type a noun."); 
alert("All done. Ready for the message?"); 
document.write("<h2>There was once a " + adjective + 
    " software developer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + 
    verb + " the " + noun + "! </h2>");

start with "```javascript", then the page knows how to style it :)
