Max3.java:17: cannot find symbol

Question

Hi guys,
Need some help here..
This is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class Max3{
     public static void main (String[] args)     {
     Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.print ("Enter 1st number:");
     int first = kb.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter 2nd number:");
     int second = kb.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter 3rd number:");
     int third = kb.nextInt();
     System.out.println (Math.max(first,second,third));
===================================================================
This is the error im getting :
Max3.java:17: cannot find symbol
symbol : method max(int,int,int)
location: class java.lang.Math
System.out.println (Math.max(first,second,third));
^
1 error
====================================================================
Do i need to import the math? i read from somewhere that Math class is contained in the Java.lang package, and we therefore don't have to import it ...

Answer 1

I tried again, same error.
Edited Maths.max to only max
========================================
import java.util.Scanner;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
public class Max3{
     public static void main (String[] args)     {
     Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.print ("Enter 1st number:");
     int first = kb.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter 2nd number:");
     int second = kb.nextInt();
     System.out.print ("Enter 3rd number:");
     int third = kb.nextInt();
     System.out.println (max(first,second,third));
=================================================
Error:
C:\kenny>javac Max3.java
