What the hell am I doing wrong?

Question about the task

Under discussion

Through intellij I was able to run the code without any errors and I got an exact replica of the result required by CodeGym yet I get the following errors.

Use the keyboard to separately enter the name, number1, and number2.
Display the following phrase:
<name> will receive <number1> in <number2> years.

Here's an example:
Nick will receive 10000 in 5 years.

Requirements:

The program should output text.
The program must read data from the keyboard.
The displayed text must contain the entered name.
The displayed text must contain the entered number1.
The displayed text must contain the entered number2.
The displayed text must fully match the task conditions.

package com.codegym.task.task03.task0319; /* Predictions */ import java.io.*; public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { InputStream inputStream = System.in; Reader inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(inputStream); BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader); String Chris = bufferedReader.readLine(); String sMoney = bufferedReader.readLine(); int nMoney = Integer.parseInt("10000"); String iYears = bufferedReader.readLine(); int sYears = Integer.parseInt("5"); System.out.println(Chris + " " + "will receive" + " " + sMoney + " " + "in" + " " + sYears + " " + "years."); } }

Requirements: "The displayed text must contain the entered number2." Try Your program! With this inputlist: Tom 12000 3 And the output will be this: Tom will receive 12000 in 5 years. So, the displayed text doesn't contain this entered number: "3" !

I kind of understood what you were saying but for whatever reason, it didn't work for me. I was able to pass it but I still don't understand it. All I did was change the reference to iYears on upon printout.

Line 23, in the Sys.o.println command You use the 'sYears' variable. But its value will be '5' always forever for infinity! See the line 20: int sYears = Integer.parseInt("5"); And the task requirement: if you enter this: Tom, 12345000, 18, then the output should be this: Tom will receive 12345000 in 18 years. But your program above will display this: Tom will receive 12345000 in 5 years.
