The value of the local variable chaine2 is not used
<p>I got this error message: <code>The value of the local variable chaine2 is  not used</code>.</p>

<p>The code:</p>

<pre><code>package com.example.Projet_java;

public class MyFirstClass 
                         {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
     { String chaine = new String("HELLO"),
      chaine2 = new String();
      chaine2 = chaine.toLowerCase();
     }
                                         }
                          }
</code></pre>

<p>Anybody knows how I could fix it?</p>
