I got the first part of the task right. Now I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
// 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");
if (firstExample.equalsIgnorecase(thirdExample))
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

blah
}
if (firstExample.equalsIgnorecase(thirdExample))
blah
}
Semi-colons, curly braces, and case-sensitivity - 3 things to check for when you write something and it doesn't work.
