Java Java Basics Perfecting the Prototype String Equality

My code is correct but it is showing an error. I have used equalsIgnoreCase and console.printf correctly

Not sure what I'm missing here as it worked in the previous exercise.

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(thirdExample)){
    console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

hi Jamie Ferney , you don't have syntax error ,

in task 2:

Add another if statement

he's asking you to add another statement to check if firstExample = thirdExample , so you don't have to remove the 1st statement which is firstExample = secondExample .
