I'm at a standstill. I don't know what's wrong with the code.

Hi,

What more can I add (or subtract) from the code to make it work. I think I have it right. Can anyone give me a quick tip?

Thanks,

Rashad

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.equalsIgnoreCase(secondExample))
{
  console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case \n");
}

Hey Rashad Nelson! Oddly enough, I posted a solution and explanation to this challenge just a few hours ago. Take a look here and see if it answers your questions! :smiley:
