A name is a name

At the age of 80, Yurgona Dye fulfilled his dream and learned to program. But he encountered two problems: first, nobody would hire him as a junior developer because of his age; and second, people were afraid to associate with him because of his name. But Yurgona is now a programmer. He can write a method that will assign him any name and birth year. Can you?

SUPPORT: please, correct the expected output in the task, which is: My name is Kevin. I was born on 15/2/1988 The correct output must be: My name is Kevin. I was born on 2/15/1988 I've been spending 5-6 attempts before founding this mistake.

I got it wrong the first time for that reason I had the month and day swapped for input reader.

Thanks. The input sequence was the issue ?! Please explain why the sequencing of loading up the variables from inputs matters ? I just don't see it ....

so why does this fail "The program should display text in accordance with the template specified in the task" criteria?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Solution {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //write your code here
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
        String name = scan.nextLine();
        int birthYear = scan.nextInt();
        int birthMonth = scan.nextInt();
        int birthDay = scan.nextInt();


        System.out.println("My name is " + name.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + name.substring(1) + ".");
        System.out.println("I was born on " + birthMonth + "/" + birthDay + "/" + birthYear);
    }
}
