macOS Java Homework Help

[103734]

I wrote a simple program for homework and I am having a small problem. I need it to print "First Middle Last" but it is printing "FirstMiddleLast" I am trying to figure out how to space them out but I just can't think right now, I know its something simple. The code is.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Story
{
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                String firstName, midName, lastName, favColor;
                int age, luckyNum;
                Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);

                System.out.print("What is your first name? ");
                firstName = keyboard.nextLine();
                System.out.print("What is your middle name? ");
                midName = keyboard.nextLine();
                System.out.print("What is your last name? ");
                lastName = keyboard.nextLine();
                System.out.print("How old are you? ");
                age = keyboard.nextInt();
                keyboard.nextLine();
                System.out.print("What is your lucky number? ");
                luckyNum =  keyboard.nextInt();
                keyboard.nextLine();
                System.out.print("What is your favorite color? ");
                favColor = keyboard.nextLine();

                String initials = firstName.substring(0,1) +
                midName.substring(0,1) + lastName.substring(0,1);

                System.out.println(firstName + " is " + age + " years old.\nThe initials of "
                + firstName + midName + lastName + " are " + initials + ".\n" + initials +
                "'s favorite color is " + favColor + " and the lucky number is " + luckyNum + ".");
        }
}

I thought maybe I could declare a new string like "fullName = firstName + midName + lastName" but its the same thing.

System.out.println(firstName + " is " + age + " years old.\nThe initials of "
                + firstName + " " + midName + " " + lastName + " are " + initials + ".\n" + initials +
                "'s favorite color is " + favColor + " and the lucky number is " + luckyNum + ".");
        }

I knew it would be simple, someone can delete this.

Yup.

You have to remember that spaces outside of quotes wont impact on Strings.
