System.out.printin("Welcome to the True Test to Become a Cave Explorer. You see an expansive staircase ahead you and rooms to your left and right.""Type 'upstairs' and hit enter to go up the staircase, 'right' to go to the room on your right," 'left' to go to the room on your left.");
Can anyone please point out any errors in this line of code. Also suggestions on how to fix them.
Eclipse already pointed out that i have
Multiple markers at this line
- Invalid character constant
- Syntax error, insert ")" to complete
MethodInvocation
- The method printin(String) is undefined
for the type PrintStream
- Syntax error, insert ";" to complete
Statement
that is the exact errors i have.

Thanks, Derek
P.S. please don't say i'm a noob and call me dumb i'm new and everyone starts somewhere.

Noob Java questions don't belong in the Eclipse forums. There are other
sources to get these types of questions answered.

Quick assist should give you a clue about the method is undefined error.

Go back to your Java text book and look at String constants and String
concatenation.

System.out.printin
System.out.println
("Welcome to the True Test to Become a Cave Explorer. .... "" ....".... to go to the room on your left.");
("Welcome to the True Test to Become a Cave Explorer. .... .... .... to go to the room on your left.");
------------
System.out.println("Welcome to the True Test to Become a Cave Explorer. You see an expansive staircase ahead you and rooms to your left and right. Type 'upstairs' and hit enter to go up the staircase, 'right' to go to the room on your right, 'left' to go to the room on your left.");
