269 Points"Parsing Error" need help I keep getting a parsing error when i run my code. I check and I see nothing.
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);
}
//Input
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork")) {
console.print("That language is not allowed. Exiting");
System.exit = (0);
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending in -ing: ");
//Output
console.printf("%s is a %s %s.", name, adjective, noun);
console.printf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);

8,223 PointsI made a couple minor modifications (see *):
import java.io.Console;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
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);
}
//Input
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
if(noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork")) {
console.printf("That language is not allowed. Exiting"); //*
System.exit(0); //*
}//*
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter an adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb ending in -ing: ");
//Output
console.printf("%s is a %s %s.", name, adjective, noun);
console.printf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
}
}
I got results of:
How old are you? 17
Enter your name: Dave
Enter an adjective: red
Enter a noun: ball
Enter an adverb: slowly
Enter a verb ending in -ing: ducking
Dave is a red ball.They are always slowly ducking.
How old are you? -8
Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.
How old are you? 34
Enter your name: Eliza
Enter an adjective: orange
Enter a noun: dork
That language is not allowed. Exiting
