Add an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is.."

??

Equality.java 
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if(firstExample.equals("hello"))
{
  console.printf("first is equal to second");
  System.exit(0);
}
