"Variable out of type PrintStream" error occured

I'm starting to learn Java and have encountered some issues.

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

Using Notepad++. have the SDK. to compile I used javac Hello.java, but it resulted with the following error:

Symbol: method PrintIn

Location: Variable out of type PrintStream

If that is your actual code the problem is you have a typo in your code.

Method System.out.printin(); does not exist

System.out.println("Hello");

You got confused between a lower "l" and a capital "i"

try System.out.println("Hello"); instead.

Notice the lower case L instead of the upper case I you have in your example.

println is short for print line, why they didn't just use printLine instead is crazy. Its not like they avoided vowels in many of the other API methods.

Pick a good IDE with code completion and you won't have these problems going forward.

Your error is just a typo, happens even to the best of us:

Use a lowercase 'L' instead of an uppercase 'I'; in some IDE's the two look very analogous!

System.out.println("Hello");

Remember: println() stands for "print line".

P.S. I would recommend a better IDE software such as NetBeans or Eclipse. Both of these catch syntax errors so you don't have to worry.

It is not 

System.out.printIn

but 

System.out.println (it's a l)

It's println, not printIn (lower case "ln" as in short for line)

You want println, not printIn.
