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");

}
