Java Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,632 PointsHi Vinicius, There are some problems with your code - the syntax of the if statement is:
if(condition){
//code to be executed
}
there should not be a semicolon (;) after the condition, and you are missing the curly braces{}
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)){
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
I am sure you can fix the second if statement.
There is also a typo in the equalsIgnoriCase method - it should be equalsIgnoreCase
I hope it helps. Good luck!
