I do not know what I am doing wrong
// 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("hello"))
console.printf('first is equal to second.");

issue-1:
- The instruction told you First equals() to secondExample (but you put a "string" inside the equals()!!
if (firstExample.equals(secondExample)) {
issue-2:
- This is syntax error "hello' or 'hello" (start with " and end with ')
console.printf('first is equal to second.");
Will throw this error:
JavaTester.java:111: error: unclosed string literal
console.printf('first is equal to second.');
