Try this

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"); 
}
