how can i get further?

I checked it 5 times and I did it right but the program always sais there is an compiler error. If i am goin' to the preview the ^ always points to the f at firstExemple.equalsIgnoreCase.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

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 (firstExample.equals ("secondExemple"));   {
  console.printf ("first is equal to second");
}
if (firstExemple.equalsIgnoreCase ("thirdExemple"))  {
  console.printf ("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

Hey Thale, If you look closely you have written firstExemple instead of firstExample. Everything else seems fine. Hope this will help
