java - javac cant find symbol (method) -


so decided learn how program. started using old book on how program. used disc install jdk 3.something , started reading. first thing has program sample, similar "hello world"

this have, typed how book said to:

 //my first java program  public class cooljava {      public static void main (string args[])     {         system.out.print1n("java cool");     } } 

this typed in command prompt:

c:\users\johns_000\my documents>javac cooljava.java 

the path correct.

this said

cooljava.java:7: cannot find symbol symbol  : method print1n(java.lang.string) location: class java.io.printstream                 system.out.print1n("java cool");                           ^ 1 error 

and thats it. please help. dont want continue until can work. p.s. i'm using windows 8. thanks!

update: switched 1 still came same error, thing changed says instead of 1 in error. other suggestions? btw, not updating jdk because im affraid wont work because scripting language may have changed or that.

update again: miss-read answers, put not l. of help! works now!

it's system.out.println("java cool"); misspelling println.
