What is wrong, it's not letting me get past.

// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. String firstExample = "hello"; String secondExample = "hello"; String thirdExample = "HELLO";

boolean flag = thirdExample.equalsIgnoreCase(firstExample);

if (flag) console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case \n");

Equality.java 
// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
