Illegal start of expression

[gabriel]

I try to execute this code

Code:

public class HelloWorld{
	public static void main(String[] args) {
       
	 public void text(){
	      sh.text("hello");
	 }
		
	}
}

And it gives me an error saying

Code:

 Illegal start of expression 
at
 public void text(){
	      sh.text("hello");

any ideas?

You have defined the text() method inside of the main method. I would also recommend using a consistent style. Your errors will be easier to see if you do.

For example here is your code but formated differently

Code:

public class HelloWorld
   {
   public static void main(String[] args) 
      {
      public void text()
         {
         sh.text("hello");
         }
      }
   }

Now it is easier to see that text() is inside main.
