420 PointsJava Basics challenge task 2 of 2
Add another if statement that checks if the firstExample is equal ignoring case to thirdExample. If it, is print out "first and third are the same ignoring case".
// 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("Hello")) {
console.printf("yes");
}
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase("HELLO")) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

420 PointsBummer! Make sure you are using equalsIgnoreCase
on the firstExample
variable and use console.printf
Just tried it, nothing happened.

firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)
for your if check.
