When I rund this code, the compiler doesn't produce any result at all, what to do?

The chunk of code I wrote looks like this:

 String firstExample = "hello";
 String secondExample = "hello";
 String thirdExample = "HELLO";
 if (firstExample.equals("secondExample"))  {
    console.printf ("first is equal to second");
    System.exit (0);

}

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.equals(secondExample)) {
   console.printf ("first is equal to second");
   System.exit (0);
 }

You can use System.out.printf instead of console.printf and for sure it will work.
