LiquidCrystal_I2C library

Using Arduino Programming Questions
1

Just began using the arduino uno. Having some problems trying to upload and use a library for the use of a LCD1602 module, when i try to initialize the board I get the message class LiquidCrystal_I2C has no member named init. Any suggestions of how to solve this problem, let me know if furthur info is required.

Thanks,

Joseph

#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
//
char array1[]=" SUNFOUNDER "; //the string to print on the LCD
char array2[]="hello, world! "; //the string to print on the LCD
int tim = 250; //the value of delay time
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2); // set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line display
//
void setup()
{
lcd.init(); //initialize the lcd
lcd.backlight(); //open the backlight
}
//
void loop()
{
lcd.setCursor(15,0); // set the cursor to column 15, line 0
for (int positionCounter1 = 0; positionCounter1 < 26; positionCounter1++)
{
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft(); //Scrolls the contents of the display one space to the left.
lcd.print(array1[positionCounter1]); // Print a message to the LCD.
delay(tim); //wait for 250 microseconds
}
lcd.clear(); //Clears the LCD screen and positions the cursor in the upper-left corner.
lcd.setCursor(15,1); // set the cursor to column 15, line 1
for (int positionCounter = 0; positionCounter < 26; positionCounter++)
{
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft(); //Scrolls the contents of the display one space to the left.
lcd.print(array2[positionCounter]); // Print a message to the LCD.
delay(tim); //wait for 250 microseconds
}
lcd.clear(); //Clears the LCD screen and positions the cursor in the upper-left corner.

Usually this problem occurs when you have a folder in a folder in the library folder. Go to Arduino/libraries. Doubleclick on the LCD library folder. Now you should see the .cpp and .h file and NOT another folder

This had been the case, there was a folder named examples. I have since deleted this folder, leaving only the header and cpp files, still the same message, have been trying to solve this all day,

solved this problem, just tried .begin instead of .init and by chance it worked
