I'm either not understanding what you want or I have done something wrong. I have tried everything I can think of, preview is a blank page.
// 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"));
if (secondExample.equalsIgnoreCase("hello"));
if (thirdExample.equalsIgnoreCase("Hello"));
{
console.printf ("first and third are the same ignoring case");}

19,198 Pointsif statement syntax is: if (condition) { expression; }; So check first one thing and do some operation based on that check and if needed other checks. String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO"; if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(secondExample)) { console.printf("equal"); } .....

19,198 Pointsjust add another if statement the same way:
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
};
if (..........first and third) {
console.printf("...");
};
if you do that your program will first check the first "if" statement and may do or may not do some operations based on the condition and then goes to the second "if" statement does the same thing

Courses Plus Student 193 PointsOver the class, I just unsubscribed, thanks for trying. This didn't work either by the way.

9,483 PointsFrancis Dwyer Give it another go, it will work. turaboy holmirzaev did not provide you with the full answer, but just gave you a hint to complete the second if-block yourself. So you'd need to modify that second if-block he wrote. The second challenge should have 2 if-blocks. You can do this!

19,198 Pointsfirst challenge:
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
};

Courses Plus Student 193 PointsIt's the second challenge

// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if(firstExample.equals(secondExample)){
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
