Comparable Interface Issue

Hi I wrote simple code for Comparable interface As below

import java.util.*;
class Gaurav123 implements Comparable<Gaurav123>
{
  String title;
  Gaurav123()
  {

  }

  Gaurav123(String title)
  {
    this.title=title;
  }

  public int compareTO(Gaurav123 b)
  {
    return title.compareTo(b.title);
  }
}

public class Gaurav1234
{

  public static void main(String [] args)
  {
    Gaurav123 g1=new Gaurav123("gaurav");
    Gaurav123 g2=new Gaurav123("Surbhi");
    Gaurav123 g3=new Gaurav123("Kailash");
    TreeSet<Gaurav123>ts=new TreeSet<Gaurav123>();
    ts.add(g1);
    ts.add(g2);
    ts.add(g3);
  }
}

But I am getting this error

C:\Users\gakaushik\Desktop>javac Gaurav1234.java
Gaurav1234.java:2: Gaurav123 is not abstract and does not override abstract meth
od compareTo(Gaurav123) in java.lang.Comparable
class Gaurav123 implements Comparable<Gaurav123>
^
1 error

Any Idea what is the issue. I followed all Comparable interface protocols

Java is fully case sensitive... Your method is called 

compareTO

It should be called

compareTo

However, next time be sure to read the error message carefully, it is usually a good hint what to look at... Another good thing to do before asking a question is to copz and paste the error into any search engine you find (even at Stackoverflow)
