Add an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is equal to second".
import java.io.Console;
public class Equality {
Console console = System.console( ) ;
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
public static void main (String [ ] args) {
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample))
{
console.printf("first is equal to second \n");
}
System.exit(0);
}
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
}

20,885 PointsActually, you have overdone, you need not have to declare a class, if you have not asked to, here you have only been asked to compare it with the 'equals', the below itself should work
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample))
{
console.printf("first is equal to second \n");
}
