Adding another if statement that compares the firstExample and thirdExample, taking into consideration the IgnoreCase as well. This is my code, not sure what the exact error is.
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second.");
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
}
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

Treehouse TeacherYour code is actually fine except that you managed to move the thirdExample declaration inside the if statement. That means that it only exists inside that if statement. So when you go to compare it ... it's not there. Also, remove the period from the first printf. That could also cause a problem. Challenges are picky! See my code for clarification.

String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if(firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
if(firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
