My code should work?? Please see attached?
// 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");
}

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Yes, it does work, actually. But there is a caveat. Take a look at this instruction in the challenge. It's in the area where the Bummer! message usually resides:
Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
You have removed the code from the first task and replaced it with this. You are meant to add a second if statement without removing the first.
Try it again without removing the previously passing code for Step 1.
Hope this helps!
