if statement

Add an if statement that checks to see if firstExample is equal to secondExample. If it is, print out "first is equal to second".

Equality.java 
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if(firstName, secondName.equals("Yes")){
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}

I would recommend researching the video in this tutorial to find what you missed.

Basically, in pseudo-code you want: if firstName equals secondName then print "first is equal to second". The if statement only takes one parameter, so remove the comma and the equals("Yes") method call. Then rewrite your if statement.
