I can't run a Java program

I was starting to learn Java. I followed the tutorial on how to install it. I also checked by typing "javac"(without the quotation marks) in cmd if it works. And yes it gives a whole list of text which means its supposed to work, right?

This is my java code:

class apples{
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.printIn("hello youtube");
    }
}

I saved it in a folder called 'test' in my c drive. This is what I typed in cmd:

cd \
dir

now it lists everything in my c drive and one of them is test

cd test
dir

Now it lists everything in test and one of them is 'youtube.java'(the file I named), so I type

javac youtube.java

This doesn't work This is what it gives me:

youtube.java:3: error: cannot find symbol
System.out.printIn("hello youtube");
symbol: method printIn(string)
location: variable out of type PrintStream
1 error

Can someone help me out with this?

The name of the class must match the filename.

You should use

public class Youtube{

in your code(as class names are capitalized) and call the file Youtube.java.

Also you used In instead of ln.

Use:

System.out.println(

which means "print line to System.out".

You have a typo in your call. Change

System.out.printIn("hello youtube");  // capital 'I'

to

System.out.println("hello youtube");  // lowercase 'l'

And as has been mentioned already, in Java, the public class in a file must match the filename.
