Got false instead of true after lower case at boolean condition

I've used "java-repl" at class, and follow the exact orders of Craig Dennis, but got different results

The code: java> String someWords = "This is a bunch of WORDS!"; java.lang.String someWords = "This is a bunch of WORDS!" java> String lowerWords = someWords.toLowerCase(); java.lang.String someWords = "This is a bunch of words!" java> someWords.contains("words"); java.lang.boolean res1 = false

When Craig got true.. What did I did wrong?

When I wrote java> someWords java.lang.String someWords = "This is a bunch of WORDS!"

To method "contains" return true to "words", you need use "contains" in "lowerWords" or do it:

someWords = someWords.toLowerCase();
