431 PointsEquality.java errors are ambiguous
It seems that I can get the program to compile properly, but the output is failing to match what the application is expecting. It just says, "Bummer! Try again!" When syntax is an issue it fails to compile. Any suggestions on how to format this to the expected output, or any pointers as to what's wrong in my sample code? Thanks!
// 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\n");
System.exit(0);
}
