Hey i keep getting an error message when entering this code. Can someone tell me whats wrong with it
// 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("secondExample")) { console.printf("first is equal to second"); System.exit(0); }
It looks fine to me
// 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(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
also, it looks like calling System.exit(0); will cause you to fail the challenge as well.
