    Question Java 6.0 Compiler Error

    I downloaded the JDK6 from Sun's site. It compiles any other thing except if I use the printIn method. Below is the error message:

    myprogram.java:3: cannot find symbol
    symbol: method printIn(java.lang.String)
    location: class java.io.PrintStream
    System.out.printIn("my own string");
    ^
    1 error

    Pls can someone tell me what is wrong. I'm less than a month doing Java.
    Thanks

    The correct name of the method is println (with a lower case l as in lion).

    In the future, it's a lot easier for us to see what's going on if you copy/paste short compilable piece of code we can take a look at rather than taking a screen shot.

    thanks! i just tried it and it compiled effortlessly. While reading the textbook i had mistaken the 'l' for 'I'.
