public void wordGame(){
//YOUR CODE HERE
String word = UI.askString("Please enter a word: ");
String letter = ("p");
word.equalsIgnoreCase(letter);
word.startsWith("p",1);
String i = word.substring(0,7);
int count = word.length();
if (word == "p" && count == i ){
UI.println("Yes, that fits");
} else {
UI.println("sorry, that won’t work");

}
}

My question is where did I go wrong? I’m trying to make it ask the user to enter a word and then check if that word start with p (case won’t matter) and finally it has to be 7 characters long. Can someone please point out my errors and how can I fix them. Thanks

public void wordGame(){
//YOUR CODE HERE
String word = UI.askString("Please enter a word: ");

if( (word.startsWith("p") || word.startsWith("P") ) && word.length()==7)
UI.println("Yes, that fits");
else
UI.println("sorry, that won’t work");

}

p.S: Could you check what I wrote?
I’m not sure my english is correct!

All three are similar, but the context in which each is used differs:

A pun is a play on words for humourous effect. A joke, (and often a very bad one!) in other words.

Wordplay is rather more deliberate and clever than punning. It is very close to punning, but is regarded as witty and clever and often not said for comic effect.

A wordgame is a game, rather than a figure of speech. The term was coined by Wittgenstein to describe a to a range of disparate human activities that bear to one another only what one might call family resemblances.

The nuances are slight but I hope this helps to clarify your understanding. I’ve added a couple of references that might help.

By the way, punning is not just limited to English. I know of several puns in German and French as well!

import java.util.Scanner;

public class WordGame
{

public static void main( String[] args )
{

Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
String name;
int age;
String city;
String college;
String job;
String animal;
String petName;

System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
name = input.nextLine();

System.out.print("Enter your age: ");
age = input.nextInt();

System.out.print("Enter your city: ");
city = input.nextLine();

System.out.print("Enter a college name: ");
college = input.nextLine();

System.out.print("Enter a profession: ");
job = input.nextLine();

System.out.print("Enter a type of animal: ");
animal = input.nextLine();

System.out.print("Enter a pet name: ");
petName = input.nextLine();

}
}

When I run it in the command prompt for some reason Enter Your City and Enter a college name show up at the same time and it only allows the user to enter the college name. Every other prompt shows up one at a time like it should. I’m just wondering what is causing Enter your city: and Enter a college name: to come up at the same time?

may be because of the nextInt() you are using. Does it take the input from console on the next line?

But if you want a definitive answer, you can contact the game manufacturer before you buy. They haven’t released any patches to make it compatible which suggests it runs fine. Here’s the contact address and email:

Redneck is a regional slur.

honestly it doesnt sound like you too are right for eachother, yes it’s natual for boys eyes to wander but if he really cared for you you wouldnt have even bothered fighting. also dont be too upset that he didnt recongise you at first, guys are very unobservant. but it’s up to yourself really… does he make you happy? does being with him just fill your wee little heart with joy? if not dump the chap… if so? make sure he feels the same (if not more about you) good luck
