I need help with writing statements were strings are equal to strings. The course content gave an example of a statement that excludes content. But I'm fumbling how to transfer this to two strings with duplicated content.
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (string.second

343 PointsHi Craig, Thank you for the response!
Alas ... I got through the example by looking up someone else's exercise. Although I got through the exercise, the hint provided isn't jogging any bells.
From an educational standpoint, I think it's because I'm still so new to Java, and basic instructions like "call equals method" are still foreign to me.
Sorry.
Best, Amy
