@HearTheCreeper Not quite sure i fully understand your question, however, as far as i understand, the answer to your question would be that you can put as many asterisks on the same line in any comment that you like so long as you don't end that line with a "/" Because that's what the compilers look for when closing multi-line comments a "*/" pair. so long as you don't do that, you're in the green... Literally and metaphorically.

[kaikarden]

the "[" and "]" should be "{" and "}". the only time you use brackets instead of braces are when you're working with arrays later down the road. Otherwise it looks fine.

I can't get it to work, I copied it again Exactly the same, but it tells me that there is an error on line 8, it says:
"1 error found:
Error: cannot find symbol
symbol: method printin(java.lang.String)
location: variable out of type java.io.PrintStream"

I would need more information regarding the program before i could give an answer. Mainly what does it tell you when it refuses to work.
