720 PointsTreeStory.Java - Stage 3. if (age < 13) {//Sorry you must be 13} Even if I put 18, it still runs the block of code.
Why do I keep getting this output even if the age is over 13?
How old are you? 18 Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.
String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
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 adverb: "); String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending with -ing: ");
console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n----------\n");
console.printf("%s is a %s %s", name, adjective, noun);
console.printf("They are always %s.\n", adverb, verb);
}
}

12,520 PointsHello, try checking your- if (age < 13); {blah.blah} statement. My story runs with out the semicolon after (age<13). hope it works for you.

720 PointsUpdate: I do not think its an error in my code, but in workspace, as I tried to copy and paste it from online that everyone says works fine, and its giving the same error. I tried relaunching workspace as well, but to no avail.
