Java String Compare method: Syntax Error

I can't find the syntax error in my code.

// 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(thirdExample)){ console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case"); }

Equality.java 
// 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(thirdExample)){
  console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}
