1,578 PointsTry removing the word "string" from the conditional statement. Like this:
if (firstExample = secondExample) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
I haven't programmed in Java for a while now, so I might be wrong.

6,133 Pointsthe code should be this :-
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample == secondExample) { console.printf("first is equal to second"); }

6,133 PointsThere should be double equals in the if statement because double equals checks the equality of the Strings..
