Requirements:

• Your main method should contain all input code (e.g., Scanner instance) and have 8 user prompts inputting values with nextInt(), nextDouble(), next() and nextLine().
• All output code (e.g., print statements) must be in the main method as well.
• The prepareStory method takes the arguments passed in and prepares the entire story, using all the 8 parameters and returning one long String.
• The names of the parameters for the method should be changed to better reflect their contents.
• You do not need to use the above story. Get creative and come up with your own Mad Lib!
• Your story must contain your name as you entered it in the file header comments. It should be a string literal and not passed in as a parameter.
• The method stub for prepareStory is

/**

* Returns a String that is a story containing the 8 arguments passed in. Also, your story must include

* the author's name (your name) within it using a string literal (don't pass as a parameter).Your name must match the name

* within the File Header Comment.

*

* There are no input or output statements within this method. All input and

* output is done in the main method and the user must be prompted for all the arguments.

*

* Note: Your method must have the name 'prepareStory', must have 8 parameters with the same data types shown and * in the same order. You must change the parameter names to match values in your story. For example, you may want

* to prompt for a verb, and store in a String parameter you name verb, or an adjective and store in a String param you

* name adjective.

*

* @param num1 int 1

* @param str1 String 1

* @param str2 String 2

* @param str3 String 3

* @param str4 String 4

* @param dbl1 double 1

* @param str5 String 5

* @param str6 String 6

* @return A story containing the 8 arguments and includes the program author's name.

HI there,

Following is the code,If you still have any queries,feel free to ask in the comments box.

Code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MySillyStory {

//prepareStory method
   public static String prepareStory(int number, String name, String part, String noun, String clothing, double floatnum, String destination, String goal) {
       //combining all into a single string,\n is a new line character to change the line
       String s="Congratulations!\n"+

                  "Today is your "+number+" day.\n"+

                   "You're off to "+destination+"!\n"+

                    "You're off and away!\n"+

                    "You have brains in your "+part +", You have feet in your "+clothing+".\n"+

                     "You can steer yourself any direction you choose.\n"+

                     "You're on your own with $"+floatnum+". And you know what you know.\n"+

                      "And YOU are the "+noun+" who'll decide where to go.\n"+

                       "be your name "+name+" or Bixby or Bray\n"+

                       "or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,\n"+

                         "You're off to "+destination+"!\n"+

                       "Today is your day!\n"+

                        "Your "+goal+" is waiting. So...get on your way!\n"+

                      "Based on Dr. Seuss 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' and adapted by Jim Williams";
     return s;//returning the string
      

       }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
//prompt the user
//pass the responses to the prepareStory method
//print out the story returned from prepareStory
       Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
       String name;
       int number;
     
       String part;
       String noun;
       double floatnum;
       String clothing;
       String destination;
       String goal;
       //accepting values
       System.out.println("name: ");
       name=sc.nextLine();
     
       System.out.println("whole number: ");
       number=sc.nextInt();
       System.out.println("body part: ");
       part=sc.next();
       System.out.println("noun: ");
       noun=sc.next();
     
     
       System.out.println("floating point number: ");
       floatnum=sc.nextDouble();
       System.out.println("clothing article: ");
       clothing=sc.next();
       System.out.println("destination: ");
       destination=sc.next();
       System.out.println("goal: ");
       goal=sc.next();
       //passing and printing the string returned
       System.out.println(prepareStory(number,name,part,noun,clothing,floatnum,destination,goal));
     
     
   }
}
