Equality.java 
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";

//Placing if statement

You have it Kenneth, you just don't need the System.exit(0) line. The directions didn't say anything about needing to exit the program.

if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
  console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
