JavaScript JavaScript Basics (Retired) Storing and Tracking Information with Variables The Variable Challenge Solution

My story was coded differently but came out the same.

Here is my story.js file.

alert("Welcome To StoryMaker! Let's create your unique story!");
alert("Ready? Let's begin!");
var verb1 = prompt('Enter a VERB');
var noun1 = prompt('Enter a NOUN');
var time1 = prompt('Enter a TIME');
var place1 = prompt('Enter a PLACE');
var verb2 = prompt('Enter a VERB');
var noun2 = prompt('Enter a NOUN');
var verb3 = prompt('Enter a VERB');
var noun3 = prompt('Enter a NOUN');
var adjective1 = prompt('Enter an ADJECTIVE');
alert("Thanks for your words. Ready for your unique story? Here it is...");
document.write("My day tomorrow will be interesting. I intend to " + verb1 + " my " + noun1 + " at " + time1 + " AM. Next, I will go to the " + place1 + " to " + verb2 + " my " + noun2 + ". Then I need to " + verb3 + " my " + noun3 + " who is simply " + adjective1 + ".");

Is it bad I'm putting my entire story inside the document.write() parameter instead of doing it like the instructor suggest in his solution?

Thanks in advance to all who respond to this question. I thought this way would be easier but now I think I could have coded it a better way in case another programmer needs to modify my source code.

Amazing course by the way!!

Hi Pavon, It is considered bad practice to use document.write(). Try to avoid it as much as you can. You should instead you html markup.

Hi there Shlomi!

First, thanks for responding to my question.

I will keep that in mind. I know the instructor did the same thing. You rock! And thank you once again.
