Syntax error driving me nuts

[CeeLove]

So I have to build a program that runs a game of BlackJack between you and the computer. I have it all mapped it, but I cannot find the syntax error!

The error reads:
Multiple markers at this line
- Syntax error, insert "EnumBody" to complete BlockStatements
- Syntax error, insert "enum Identifier" to complete EnumHeaderName

It's found in Line 48 of my program, where it reads:
private static nextChar();

Here is my BlackJackTest.java class, let's see if you guys can help me out here!

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BlackJackTest {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int money; // Amount of money the user has.
int bet; // Amount user bets on a game.
boolean userWins; // Did the user win the game?
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Welcome to the game of blackjack.");
System.out.println();

money = 1000; // User starts with $1,000.

while (true) {
System.out.println("You have " + money + " dollars.");
do {
System.out.println("How many dollars do you want to bet? (Enter 1 to end.)");
System.out.println("? ");
bet = sc.nextInt();
if (bet < 1 || bet > money)
System.out.println("Your answer must be between 0 and " + money + '.');
} while (bet < 1 || bet > money);
if (bet == 1)
break;
userWins = playBlackjack();
if (userWins)
money = money + bet;
else
money = money - bet;
System.out.println();
if (money == 0) {
System.out.println("Looks like you've are out of money!");
break;
}
}

System.out.println();
System.out.println("You leave with $" + money + '.');

} // end main()

keep cool. the cause of the errors is this line of code

private static nextChar();

first of all, local variables has no access modifier and i can't figure out what the line above is for, please exaplain.
