524 PointsWhat am I doing wrong in the String Equality Code Challenge?
Can't find my error here. Also, no bugs found in Preview mode.
// 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");

// 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");
}

524 PointsThanks Charlie, that was helpful. One thing I had apparently also missed was the fact that I had to add a line instead of replacing the line from the previous exercise. I guess these challenges can be as much about reading as they are about writing :-)
