444 PointsAdd an if Statement comparing two strings.
I keep getting a compiler error and I don't quite know what I'm doing wrong!
String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO"; if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(secondExample)); { console.printf("first is equal to second \n."); System.exit(0); }
// 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(secondExample)); {
console.printf("first is equal to second \n.");
System.exit(0);
}
