Class compiler
Hi,
I tried installing Java today and have been trying to fix this problem for hours. I installed Java, and when I run
javac C:\MyJava\Hello.java, I get errors. MyJava is obviously where my java file is stored, and I want to compile it to a class file.
The script I have is:
public class Hello
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
System.out.printIn("Hello World");
}
}
When I run the compiler for this, the error I receive is:
C:\MyJava\Hello.java:5: cannot find symbol
symbol : method printIn(java.lang.String)
location: class java.io.PrintStream
System.out.printIn("Hello World");
^
1 error
If anyone can help me, I'll be very grateful as this has been a problem for hours.
# 1 Re: Class compiler
Have you imported the java.io.* methods?
put
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
at the top of your hello.java file ... then re-compile.
If you have already included those lines, then your CLASSPATH does not include the directory where the JDK has installed the API library files.

Forget about what I wrote about needing to import API files ...
I just compiled your code ... you were getting an error because you mistyped the name of the method which displays the string argument to the console and ends with a "new line/ carriage return". The method is "print line" and is written "println" - you have a uppercase "I" where you should have a lowercase "L"
