i cant seem to find where i am missing somthing?

Question

i think i have it right so far there might be something missing that i havent seen
```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.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)){
  console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
  System.exit(0);
}
```

In addition to removing System.exit(0); as @Alexander Davison (https://teamtreehouse.com/xela888) pointed out, you have to make sure to keep the code from the previous task intact. In these challenges you are not meant to remove or modify the code from the previous task when you work on the next task, all of the code has to be kept to complete the challenge.
It is a very common mistake in this task to modify the code from task 1 to complete task 2 instead of adding new code. And it looks like you have done just that. If you add back the code that you wrote in part 1 like this:
```java
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if(firstExample.equals(secondExample)){
  console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
if(firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)){
  console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}
```
Then your code will pass.

You should remove the line of code that says System.exit(0); . The challenge didn't ask for that.
I hope this helps. ~Alex
