Not sure why I keep getting an error, any help would be very much appreciated
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equal("hello")) {
console.printf("first is equal to second. \n\n");
System.exit(0);
}
