add if statement that checks if the firstExample is equal ignoring case to thirdExample.If it is print out "first and third are the same ignoring case". String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO"; if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase("HELLO")){ console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case"); }
// 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("HELLO")){
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

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");
}

firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase("HELLO")
