I just started a tutorial on java programming. A simple Hello world program. I used javac in command prompt(java HelloJava.java) but I have two errors. Both are the same. Its not understanding System.out.printin
Here is my source code:

(Toggle Plain Text)

class HelloJava {
 
  public static void main(String args[]) {

  System.out.printin("Hello Java,");
  System.out.printin("It's me...");

 }

}

Here is the error message I get.

(Toggle Plain Text)

HelloJava.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method printin <java.lang.string>
location: class java.io.PrintStream
   System.out.printin("Hello Java,");
           ^

HelloJava.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method printin <java.lang.string>
location: class java.io.PrintStream
   System.out.printin("It's me...,");
           ^

I can't figure it out...

Change System.out.printin to System.out.println .

It's with a lowercase 'L', not an 'I'.

Yup.

That should do the trick for sure. I need to brush up on my Java also . So many languages, so little time. Btw, welcome to the forum!

yeah it is

(Toggle Plain Text)

System.out.println(string);

NOT: System.out.printin(string);

the problem is that you didnt put

(Toggle Plain Text)

System.out.println

you just got i and l confused

Please put [solved] in the title if you have fixed the problem just so that people know that you dont need help anymore.

System.out.printin("Hello Java,");
         ^

System.out.printin("It's me...,");
         ^

Just F.Y.I. , since this type of thing will no doubt come up a lot as you get started, take note of the '^' in your error messages. It actually points to the problems in the code. I dealt with this a lot when I was learning Python. Once I figured that little tid-bit out it helped immensely, as I spent less time looking through all of the code for the problem(s) and more time correcting and learning new things.

for the simple errors yes, for the harder ones generally it point to no where helpful, and you have to do stack tracing to find the error, and een that doesn;t help sometimes.

peace_of_mind · Sep 17th, 2004, 8:54 AM

Excellent point. But all was really trying to point out is that's a good starting point, if you're new to programming. You are absolutely right, however, and I apologize for not being clearer.
