// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
if (firstExample == secondExample) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase == thirdExample) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}
