String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO"; if (firstExample.equalsIgnoringCase(thirdExample)) { console.printf("first is equal to second"); }
Every time it keeps just saying its the . on the .equals
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console.
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoringCase(thirdExample))
{
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}

// 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(secondExample)){
console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
if(firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)){
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsthere is a note in gray above each challenge coding area telling you not to replace your code from previous tasks but to add to it. so leave your code from task 1 and add task 2 below it. then, you have the method name wrong, it is equalsIgnoreCase. finally, you have the string they want printed wrong, but it passed me anyway so that isn't critical.
