hi i just installed textpad, tried running a simple program which reads one line of input but i get an error telling me it cant find the console reader

".java:5: cannot find symbol symbol : class consoleReader location: class Convert ConsoleReader console = new consoleReader(System.in);"

and the console reader is in the same folder which i saved my program in and its compiled..??
help..

Java is case sensitive.

ConsoleReader console = new consoleReader(System.in);

on the left hand side you have a type ConsoleReader, on the right hand side you try to create an instance of a different type consoleReader
consoleReader has nothing to do with
ConsoleReader ...

about 40% of your work will work that way ... 40% is the texts and docs. It's the remaining 20% you should fret over.
