Wrong line of execution: The new 'int' and 'if' statements aren't being executed yet the previous code is.

The new new code:

        int age = 12;
        if (age < 13) {
           console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
           System.exit(0);
           }

is not being executed at all and I don't know why.

The previous code:

        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 %s.\n", adverb, verb);

seems to be working fine

The problem was with the browser and not the code. The code works fine when I tried on a different browser. Thanks for your help nevertheless.

That code is highly unlikely to be browser specific. How are you running this? How is the browser relevant?

I was running it on Chrome, on which it just wouldn't execute any new code (not just the one shown above). I tried it on Safari and it worked fine. Tried it on Chrome again today and it also seems to be working fine. I don't understand it either by any additional code to this would not be detected (after saving it etc.):

    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 %s.\n", adverb, verb);

It works for me ... the program exits with the string output of "you must be at least 13".
