I'm confused about the (x.equalsIgnoreCase(y).

Question about the task

Under discussion

I thought that (x.equalsIgnoreCase(y)) assigns itself a value of true or false based on the variables you put into it, but I needed to do that manually? ((x.equalsIgnoreCase(y)) == true) ?

Hi Matthew, Yes, "x.equalsignoreCase(y)" should work as a true or false value. But also, your "x.equalsignoreCase(y)== true" would work (because it is a fair comparison (boolean vs boolean). On the other hand, you could also try with the following: " ( ___ ? ___ : ___) ". Try something like: System.out.println( (x.equalsIgnoreCase(y) ) ? "Acces allowed" : "Acces denied");
