if statement

When I compile the program it just says "Bummer! Try again!".

Giving me no output.html to view were the error might be.

I have had a couple of replies but nothing seems to work...

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\n");
  System.exit(0);
}

You dont need the System.exit(0). Without it it should 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\n");
}

Happy learning :)
