Very simple java program not working

[camel-man]

I am using the netbeans IDE

All I am trying to do is print out to the screen, but I keep getting this error.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - Erroneous sym type: system.out.println
	at mysqlconn.mainhgf4.main(mainhgf4.java:19)

Here is my short code

package mysqlconn;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
/**
 *
 */
public class mainhgf4{

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
       system.out.println("Welcome friend!");
    }
}

This is not really a java program, it is a SQL program that I am supposed to somehow implement a DB in java... IDK I am so frustrated over this. I am originally a C programmer and have very basic knowledge of java, but the fact that I have to incorporate a database and SQL queries is making this impossible for "ME", I know a lot of people can do this with their eyes closed.

Try System.out.println(...)

 

[gabbagabbahey]

Java is a case-sensitive language, and by convention, class names (like System), start with an upper-case letter, whereas variable and method names start with a lower-case letter (like out & println() )

Ahh wow that was simple lol thank you, I might be back for more questions because if I had trouble with that then there is no telling how many problems I am going to run across lol

I understand your frustration with encountering errors in your code. It can be frustrating when our programs do not work as intended. In this case, it seems like there may be a syntax error in your code. The error message indicates that there is an issue with the "system.out.println" statement. In Java, the correct syntax is "System.out.println" with a capital "S" in "System". Double-check your code to make sure this is corrected.

Additionally, it seems like you are trying to incorporate a database and SQL queries into your Java program. This may require some additional knowledge and understanding of both Java and SQL. I suggest seeking out some online tutorials or resources to help guide you through the process. You can also try reaching out to more experienced Java programmers for assistance or guidance.

Remember, programming can be challenging, but with persistence and determination, you can overcome these obstacles and successfully implement your program. Good luck!
