Hello, my code should be working. I also only get "Bummer: Try again!" when I Recheck work.

// 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); }

Equality.java 
// 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);
}

:mailbox_with_mail: Hi, I got your request.

You're printing the right thing, but the instructions don't say anything about causing the program to exit.

For best results with the challenges, do only what the instructions ask for and nothing extra.
