Code Challenge: String Equality My solution works in a separate workspace but does not work on the challenge page.

I placed the code both before and after the line: String thirdExample = "HELLO"; neither way worked on the challenge page, but both worked on the other workspace.

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

If you remove the line System.exit(0); this passes. I think you're just ahead of the challenge. :)
