What is wrong ?
// 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");
}
String secondExample ="hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";

String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
//IF STATEMENT BELOW THIS
Hope that helps.!

It needs to be in this format. It worked for me! Make sure secondExample has no quotations in it. if(firstExample.equals(secondExample)) { console.printf("first is equal to second"); }
