Perfecting the Prototype equalsIgnoringCase

I can't figure out what's wrong with this code, it seems like it should work

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

Hello,

It appears you removed your code from Task 1. Tasks are setup so that you add onto the existing code for each task. My recommendation would be to restart the challenge, complete Task 1 and then add your new code in addition to the code to Task 1.
