Java Java Basics Perfecting the Prototype String Equality

For some reason the answer I provided for task 2 isn't qualifying, even though I'm able to run it in workspaces fine.

I'm able to run my code in workspaces and the console output is what I would expect, but for some reason I keep getting a "bummer!" reposnse in the challenge.

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

I have also tried without the line break, and with and without punctuation.

Found out why! It's mentioned here, https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/cannot-find-the-issue Instead of replacing the line from the previous task, you need to add this new if statement after it.
