My Storymaker is done. is it a better/shorter way to do it?

var noun = prompt("say a noun"); var verb = "Say a verb"; var verb = prompt("You said " + noun + ", good! Now, " + verb); var adjective = "say an adjective"; var adjective = prompt("You said " + verb + ", your answer is correct! Now, " + adjective); alert("Great! You're finished");

You could eliminate the first declarations for your 'verb' and 'adjective' variables, as they are not needed. What you have stored in the variable can just be put into the concatenation, and therefore makes it less 2 lines. :)

var noun = prompt("Say a noun.");
var verb = prompt("You said " + noun + ". Now say a verb");
var adjective = prompt("You said " + verb + ". Now say a adjective");
alert("Great! You're finished. You're story says '" + noun + " " + verb + " " + adjective + ".'");
