What is wrong with my code?

I don't understand what the error is.

Equality.java 
// 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");
}

you need to keep the if statement from task 1 in there as well. dont remove it:

// I have imported a java.io.Console for you, it is named console. 
String firstExample = "hello";
String secondExample = "hello";
String thirdExample = "HELLO";
// task 1
if(firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(secondExample)){
  console.printf("first is equal to second");
}
// task 2
if(firstExample.equalsIgnoreCase(thirdExample)){
  console.printf("first and third are the same ignoring case");
}

dont remove code from previous tasks. THe challenge expects it to be there
