newbie java question.. printf...

[SpreadTooThin]

What should I have imported so that System.out.printf and
System.out.println would compile?
I get error messages like cannot find symbol.

Nothing.

System is in java.lang and that is always imported implicit
(even though explicit is allowed).

What is the error message you get?

(printf requires 1.5 or higher)

The error message I get is "Cannot find symbol."
I'm on MAC OS X... 10.5.7... As far as I know my Java is up to date.
java version "1.5.0_16"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_16-
b06-284)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_16-133, mixed mode, sharing)

We need the entire error message.

You get more than just "Cannot find symbol."

Probably, the imports for the arguments you are trying to print....

Since he shows us no code and no error message, it's hard to guess.
