(Newbie to this forum) thread problems!

Sorry all but I didn't know where to post this,

I have a threadpool and I want to run a threadpooltest, but when I compile the threadpooltest it says it cannot recognise the fullstop between "out" and "printIn"

Here's the code:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28   29   30   31   32   33   34   35   36   37   38   39   40   41   42   43   44   45   46   47   48   49   50   51   52

public class ThreadPoolTest {    public static void main(String[] args) {       if (args.length != 2) {           System.out.printIn("Tests the ThreadPool task.");           System.out.printIn(             "Usage: java ThreadPoolTest numTasks numThreads");           System.out.printIn(             "  numTasks - integer: number of tasks to run.");           System.out.printIn(             "  numThreads - integer: number of threads " +             "in the thread pool.");           return;       }       int numTasks = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);       int numThreads = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);       //create the thread pool      ThreadPool ThreadPool = new ThreadPool (numThreads);       // run example tasks       for (int i=0; i<numTasks; i++) {             ThreadPool.runTask(createTask(i));       }       // closes the pool and wait for all tasks to finish      ThreadPool.join();       }       /**             Creates a simple Runnable that prints an ID, waits 500             milliseconds, then prints the ID again.       */       private static Runnable createTask(final int taskID) {             return new Runnable() {                 public void run() {                   System.out.printIn("Task " + taskID + ": start");                   // simulate a long running task                  try {                       Thread.sleep(500);                   }                   catch (InterruptedException ex) {}                   System.out.printIn("Task " + taskID + ": end");             }           };       }     }

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Hauk

1. newbies post in the newbie forum
2. if you have a compiler error, you need to post the actual error using copy/paste
3. based on what you pasted, and your use of + in a way that has absolutely no reason nor effect, my guess would be that you have put artificial newlines in your source - you cannot split a line of code across multiple lines of source. This is standard in most languages: one line of code occupies one line of the source file.

Yeah, sorry about that :-/ I only found the newbie forum after I posted this thread.

I'll post it over there and see what happens.

Thanks
