David Kiddey
Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 750 PointsWould this work too?
This is what I coded:
//Prompt word collecting
var noun = prompt("Give me a noun!");
var verb = prompt("Give me a verb!");
var adjective = prompt("Give me an adjective!");
//Sentance variables
var sentance1 = "There once was a";
var sentance2 = "programmer who used JavaScript to";
var sentance3 = "the";
//Make the full sentance
document.write(sentance1 + ' ' + noun + ' ' + sentance2 + ' ' + verb + ' ' + sentance3 + ' ' + adjective);
It worked. I found it a bit simpler. This would work the same way as well, right?

I put some forum markdown code on your post just to make the code easier to read.
You're right though you've found another way to do the challenge, and that's great. There's more than one way to solve every problem in JavaScript and the same goes for any language. Just go with whatever works for you and try not to bet hung up doing it one particular way. :-)

7,187 Pointsdocument.write(sentance1 + ' ' + noun + ' ' + sentance2 + ' ' + verb + ' ' + sentance3 + ' ' + adjective); Can somebody explain me this piece of code? what does those empty single quote mean? is there other ways to write this?

3,726 PointsThe empty singles quotes they're using are meant to add a space in between the "a" (in "There once was a"; ) & the noun, in between the "to" (in "programmer who used JavaScript to") & the verb, and in between the "the" (in "the") & the adjective.
Without the spaces the sentence would look like this:
There once was anoun programmer who used JavaScript toverb theadjective
It is unnecessary to do it that way, but it still works. An easier way to write it would be to add the space after "a", "to", and "the" like this:
"There once was a "; "programmer who used JavaScript to "; "the ";
Then the document.write would look like this:
document.write(sentance1 + noun + sentance2 + verb + sentance3 + adjective);
