Week 3 Ex. 65 - "Illegal Start of Expression"

[gmy5011]

Hi,

I'm having problems with week 3 exercise 65.

I have no idea what this error is. I cant really find much information on the error "Illegal start of Expression"

The link to my work is here: https://tmc.mooc.fi/mooc/paste/eA_dD0QmcF02DmDVamxENw

Best regards,

You're missing a closing bracket for the for loop:    for (String word : list) {

And thus when defining the next method it fails with the Illegal start of expression, as it still is expecting the } before we can define a new method.

One way for detecting these, and seeing where the brackets are missing is to autoformat the code and then seeing in which point the indentation starts to look incorrect.

Great, thank you! I must have looked over that code for an hour trying to figure out what was wrong with it... can't believe it was just a missing bracket. I think I got hung up, because the error was showing for the next statement, but based on the problem it makes sense now. I will definitely focus on using auto format for my future exercises.
