Identifier expected

[jr2648]

Currently, I'm designing a gui program that incorporates the use of Cardlayout. I am just beginning, but I can't seem to compile passed this first portion of code.

public class TeachersGradebook2{

	
	JPanel panelholder; // Panel that contains the cards
	
	JPanel mainMenu = new JPanel(); // Main Menu
	JPanel addStudent = new JPanel(); // Add a student Menu
	
	panelHolder = new JPanel(new CardLayout());
	panelHolder.add(mainMenu, "0");
	panelHolder.add(addStudent, "1");

TeachersGradebook2.java:17: <identifier> expected
panelHolder = new JPanel(new CardLayout());
^
TeachersGradebook2.java:18: <identifier> expected
panelHolder.add(mainMenu, "0");
^[/CODE]

any ideas?

Thanks.

You're calling code that can't be stuck out naked in the class. Rather it needs to be in a constructor or method or initialization block.

Also, panelHolder was delcared as panelholder. Not the same.
