702 PointsWhat's wrong with this code?
I checked the make sure advice but it's still not working
// 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");
}

702 PointsI think using System.out.println is correct but in this course they use console.printf

Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 22,175 PointsYour task 2 of challenge is correct, however you have to leave the first task done as well:
Please add to your code solution of the first task
"Add an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is equal to second".

18,039 PointsI think the problem is with the console.printf command.
In Java, to print something to the console, I usually use System.out.println
I think console.printf is a combination between JavaScript (console) and Java (printf). Let me know if this was the fix :)
