1,316 PointsIt says that I have to use printf and I am and it says use firstExample and I am so I dont understand whats wrong.
This is the code Im using:
String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO"; if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase("hello")) { console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case."); }
But It says Bummer! You have to use firstExample and use printf. And I am so I don't understand what Im doing wrong
// 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("hello")) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case.");
}

1,316 PointsThank you soo much for your help. But this is part 2 and part 1 was to compare first and second, so if i change "hello" part 1 fails.

1,203 Pointsinstead of putting "hello" in the equalsIgnoreCase method, you should simply use the variable name thirdExample, so you compare the firstExample with the thirdExample. Using the variable name will allow future code to always test the equality between these two variables cause maybe in the future thirdExample could change.
