Niyamat;

There are two issues with your code that are preventing it from passing the challenge. The first is what you are comparing the firstExample to, you want to compare it to secondExample, not the value of secondExample. Make any sense?

Second, the challenge doesn't ask for the System.exit(0); line and won't like that either, so it can be deleted.

Post back if you are still stuck.
