11,083 PointsIt is difficult to answer where you are potentially going wrong without the code you have written. This is what I wrote to pass the tests:
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}
