What is wrong with the code?

String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO";

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

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");
}
