Sorry, having real trouble with this...

Question

import java.lang.*;
public class Alphabet_frequency {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
int length_of_string;
          length_of_string = length("java");
          System.out.println(length_of_string);
and javac tells me it can't find the symbol !!
This is what I reckon I am doing: I am creating an int called length_of_string and then calling the length method of the String class to assign the length of the string "java" to length_of_string. What could be simpler than this ????!!!!!!!
A bottle of wiskey to the winner...

Answer 1

import java.lang.*;Redundant line - remove it.
length_of_string = length("java");
and javac tells me it can't find the symbol !!Of course - where is this mythical "length" method?
