AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user encountering a compilation error in their Java code while using the NetBeans IDE. The error message indicates an issue with the statement "system.out.println", which is incorrectly written in lowercase. The correct syntax is "System.out.println", highlighting Java's case sensitivity. The user expresses frustration with transitioning from C programming to Java, particularly in integrating SQL and database functionality. After receiving guidance on the correct syntax, the user acknowledges the simplicity of the solution and anticipates needing further assistance with potential future issues.

I am using the netbeans IDE

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

Code:
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

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(...)
 
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
 
Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'
I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
Thread 'Project Documentation'
Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
