Not sure where I am going wrong on this code challenge. Any tips?

Any suggestions?

Equality.java 
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
if(firstExample.equals(secondExample)){
  console.printf("first is equal to second");
System.exit(0);
}
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";

on this one i don't think you need to use system.exit, and you may need to move your code to the bottom since you are using secondexample before it is defined.
