Cannot find symbol println

Question

I just started a new java project today, and I'm having a problem with println. Here's my main method: ``` public static void main(String[] args) { String stringNumGuards = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How any guards do you have?"); int numGuards = Integer.parseInt(stringNumGuards); Controller headGuard = new Controller(); System.out.println("You have ", numGuards, " guards"); } //main ``` The javac output ``` Controller.java:10: cannot find symbol symbol : method println(java.lang.String,int,java.lang.String) location: class java.io.PrintStream System.out.println("You have ", numGuards, " guards"); ``` What did I do wrong? I've never had problems with println before.

Accepted Answer

You concatenate Strings with `+` not `,`

```
System.out.println("You have ", numGuards, " guards");
```

Should become

```
System.out.println("You have " + numGuards + " guards");
```
