Courses Plus Student 639 PointsPutting a space after typing dork makes the noun.equals("dork") useless. How to solve that? Thanks!!
As I say, I just need to push the spacebar to avoid java recognizing "dork " as equal to "dork". How can we make java to only cosinder the combination of letters that makes the word dork without consider the space before or after the word?

That's a really great observation and question!
To isolate the string only, you would use the trim() method, which removes any leading and trailing whitespace. You can read up on it in the Official Java Docs, or have a look at this example from "GeeksforGeeks".
Hope that helps you! :)
