Using document.write();

In this test, instead of using:

sentence += " programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + verb; sentence += " the " +noun;

document.write(sentence);

Why can't i just write:

document.write("There once a " +adjective " programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to " +verb " the " +noun ".")

You can certainly do it that way. you were just missing a couple of "+" to help with the concatenting.

document.write("There once a " + adjective +  " programmer who wanted to use JavaScript to " + verb + " the " + noun + ".")

The method you were show just makes things a little more readable when the string starts to get longer.
