295 PointsMy make a story game. When I watched his solution I was waaayyyyyyy off. This is my only experience programming.
var noun = prompt("Please enter a noun");
var verb = prompt("Please enter a verb");
var adjective = prompt("Please enter an adjective");
var story = 'The ' + noun;
story += ' went to the store and was excited.'
story += 'When the ' + noun;
story += ' got home he ' + verb + ' on the tractor even though he was ' + adjective + '.';
document.write(story);
alert('You finished the game. I hope it was everything you expected and more!');
Pretty terrible right?
Edit: For some reason when I post this the code shows up in a paragraph format but I made it to have each var on its own line, each story += on its own line as well.
MOD note: added mark down to code to make it more readable.

The thing about programing is that there is no one way to do something. There are several ways to solve a problem, some are just better than others(best practice). I tested your code in codepen and it works great! think of it as a rough draft, now if you want take this code and see if you can further improve upon it throughout the course.

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHey Justin, I see nothing wrong with your code. It does what it's supposed to do. Like Jacob said, there are many ways to achieve the same result. It all depends on how you want to do it. As long as it's understandable to you (if you were to look at it a year from now) and is relatively understandable to someone else. All is good.
Keep Coding! :)
