String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";

Your code is correct but you are missing the first of two if statements.

if (firstExample == secondExample) {
 console.printf("first is equal to second."); 
}

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

Hi Ayushi Singh Rathore, the reason your Preview was blank is because there was no error, just you didn't do what the challenge was asking.
