hi,

i read through a few website ,gone through a few examplebut i am still getting 01 error in my code?
Error message:
goldFish.java:11: error: cannot find symbol
void perform(){System.out.printIn(this.action);
^
symbol: method printIn(String)
location: variable out of type PrintStream
1 error

abstract class Pet {

abstract void perform();

}

class GoldFish extends Pet{
String action="Blowing bubbles";
GoldFish(String action){
this.action = action ;
}
void perform(){System.out.printIn(this.action);
}

}

Code blocks are created by indenting at least 4 spaces
... and can span multiple lines

This new forum formatting of posts is awful.
The code you posted is very confusing with the way it comes and goes out of formatting.

Where was the ^ in the original error message?

You should not need a this. in the println() statement.

After deleting this. from print(), Got the following error.

goldFish.java:11: error: cannot find symbol
    void perform(){System.out.printIn(action);
                             ^
  symbol:   method printIn(String)
  location: variable out of type PrintStream
1 error

void perform(){System.out.printIn(this.action);

Yet another problem with code formatting - which hides the fact that you have typed printIn instead of println. Confused? I'm not suprised. Your version has an upper-case I for India where it should have a lower-case l for Lima.
