321 PointsCan't seem to operate "Hello World" correctly even after copying the code verbatim.
Hello everyone,
When watching the first video to print "Hello World" for java I can't get the code to compile right. It just says:
treehouse:~/workspace$ javac Introductions.java
Introductions.java:8: error: cannot find symbol
console.prinf("Hello, my name is Derek");
^
symbol: method prinf(String)
location: variable console of type Console
1 error

I looked at the example that Craig wrote and it looks like everything is written verbatim. Can someone help me out?
