Not sure what I am doing wrong. It looks fine to me.
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if(thirdExample.equalsIgnoreCase(firstExample))
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");

The above answer is correct, but to give you some visualization what he means by needing two else statements is below
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
else if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}
