575 Pointscode is not working.
add an if statement.
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. String firstExample = console.readLine("Enter a name: "); String secondExample = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)){ console.printf("first is equal to second. "); System.exit(0); }
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
String secondExample = console.readLine("Enter a name: ");
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)){
console.printf("first is equal to second. ");
System.exit(0);
}

230,688 PointsDon't change the provided variables, And you won't need "readLine" for anything.
Then, just show the message as the instructions asked. Don't also do an "exit".
