This (very simple) code works, but I bet there's a better (best practice) to write it. Suggestions?

var noun = prompt ("Type in a noun.");
var verb = prompt ("Type in a verb");
var adjective = prompt ("Type in an adjective");
alert("you're done!");
var story = "My " + adjective + " " + noun + " might not look like much, but it " + verb + "!."; 

console.log(noun);
console.log(verb);
console.log(adjective);

document.write(story);

The way Dave does the program in his solution video (and the way you're doing it) is the simplest and best way to make this program. You can't get any better code than that.

Thanks, Marcus. When I first learned actionscript, I picked up a bunch of bad habits. Trying to avoid that now. Appreciate the feedback.

not immediately. I plan on revisiting all the challenges soon and will probably have more questions then. It'd be nice there was a link to just the challenges for those wanting a quick review, but that's a question for support. Thanks so much for the help.
