Java difficulties :(

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

Bummer! Are you sure you used the equals method of firstExample and then called console.printf?

What did go wrong? i can't figure it out!

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