13,774 PointsIt seems like it should be
if (firstExample.equals("hello")
however, even more appropriate i think based on what the challenge is asking you would be to try
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample) ( make sure you do this one after you declare the value for secondExample)
Either of those should get you pointed in the right direction, right now you are doing if (hello.equals) but hello is not defined as anything in your code snippet.
