Declare a variable that is named the camel-cased version of "first name". Store the user's first name into this new variable using console.readLine.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
string firstName=("cheen");
String firstName= console.readline("%s",firstName);

}
String firstExample = "hello";

1,182 Pointscould you please tell what mistake i have done in this question???
Steve Hunter
57,712 PointsYep.
First, you've used the variables before they have been declared - move your code underneath the lines where they are created. Otherwise, the compiler doesn't now what they are when you use them
Secondly, you have put quotes round secondExample - remove them - it is a variable name, not a string.
Steve.

1,182 Pointsif (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
) // <-- change that!
now whats a problem in this code??
Steve Hunter
57,712 PointsYou've closed the if statement with a bracket, not a curly brace.
I've added a comment in your code.

1,182 PointsMeenakshi Bohra
1,182 PointsAdd an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is equal to second"
