String Manipulation: Song Scramble

We're going to play a word game to remix the nursery rhyme "Row, row, row your boat".

The way this game works is to prompt the user for several parts of speech to fill in the blanks of our template. Then we can read the paragraph back to the user and see how ridiculous it sounds.

The template we will be using is as follows:

VERB_1, VERB_1, VERB_1 your NOUN_1
gently down the NOUN_2.
ADVERB_1 ADVERB_1 ADVERB_1 ADVERB_1, life is but a NOUN_3

Starting Code:

You are provided with the non-blank portions of the stanzas in the template above. You are also provided with System.out prompts for the user to input a part of speech (Noun, Verb, Adverb).

At the bottom we output the completed song by combining the three stanzas.

Instructions

Your task will be to collect user input and store the data in String variables. Then use three different methods of string concatenation to complete the three stanzas (beginning, middle, and end).

Requirements

• Use the addition operator + to complete the beginning stanza
• Use the String.concat() method to complete the middle stanza
• Use String.format() to complete the end stanza.

A Completed Project Will:

prompt the user for a verb, noun, noun, adverb, noun. produce a completed song using the provided words.

Example input:

• Verb run
• Noun 1 frog
• Noun 2 table
• Adverb quickly
• Noun 3 shoe

Output:

run, run, run your frog
gently down the table.
quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly, life is but a shoe.

Extension
