3,009 Pointsstring equality error
// 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"); } please tell me why im getting an error
***Bummer: Make sure you are using equalsIgnoreCase
on the firstExample
variable and use console.printf
i also tried
if (firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase("HELLO")) { console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case"); }
// 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");
}

Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.
You need to keep the code for task 1 and add the code for task 2 below it.

String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO";
boolean stringEquals = firstExample.equals(secondExample); boolean ignoreStringCaseEquals = firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample);
if(stringEquals) { console.printf("first is equal to second"); } if(ignoreStringCaseEquals) { console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case"); }
*YOUR IF STATEMENT HAS A SEMICOLON AFTER IT
if(some boolean value is true); <--- remove { // will never run due to semi colon }
if(some boolean value is true) { // if true ... this code statement will execute }
