2,316 PointsHello, I dont know how to write the correct if statement. Could you please give me the solutions for this task?
is the structure like this?
if (noun.equals("dork")) { console.printf("That language is not allowed. Exiting. \n\n"); System.exit(0); }
// 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("secondExample")) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
System.exit(0);
}

230,688 PointsYou're close, but I see two issues:
- variable names should not be enclosed in quotes
- the instructions only asked for the code to print, not to exit
