1,829 PointsStage 3, Task 2 - What's wrong with my code?
// 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("HELLO")) { console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case."); }
This is the code I have tried to use to pass the task. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'm stumped!
// 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("HELLO")) {
console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case.");
}
