Use an IDE until you understand how to write Java and compile manually. — OneCricketeer, Jun 26 '16 at 16:37

Java is a case sensitive language, and there is not string class...

public static void main(string args[]){

String is the class you need to use..

the same criteria applies for

system.out.println("hello youtube!");

it must be

System.out.println("hello youtube!");

And the filename should be `apples.java` or the class name changed to `youtube` – OneCricketeer Jun 26 '16 at 16:52

Please use class name as apples.java when you compile in cmd.
Please use keywords as they are accepted.

Capitalize the first char s for -

A. 'String' in line

public static void main(String args[])

B. 'System' in line

System.out.println("Your text here");

That is because of error in your method declaration . Correct main method declaration is public static void main(String[]args) . string is not a class in Java . Kindly try to explore things on your behalf before posting a question.
