So I am trying to get my TreeStory prototype to work but it doesn't...
import java.io.Console;
public class TreeStory {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
/* Some terms:

verb - An action
adjective - A description used to modify or describe a noun
Enter your amazing code here!
*/
String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
if (age < 13) {
console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program ");
System.exit(0);
}
String name = console.readLine("Enter a name here: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective here: ");
String noun;
boolean isInavlidWord;
do {
noun = console.readLine("Enter an noun here: ");
isInvalidWord = noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") ||
noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk");
if (isInvalidWord) {
console.printf("That kind of language is not allowed. Try again. \n\n "); }
} while (isInvalidWord);
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb here: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter an verb ending -ing here: ");
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);
}
}
