Java Java Basics Perfecting the Prototype String Equality

Well the quiz asking me to add an if statement to see if firstExample equals to secondExample and then print a phrase.

String firstExample = "hello"; if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) { console.printf("first is equals to second"); } String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO";

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

need to declare secondexample before using it. so:

String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
  console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
