Illegal start of expression error

[lukermsdn111]

Hi, im a total Java beginner and was just hoping someone could help me work out why i'm getting an 'illegal start of expression' error on the first line:
(public boolean isFull()) of this code:

public boolean isFull() 
                {
                    for (int a = 0; a < 10; a++)
                    {
                        for (int a2 = 0; a2 < 10; a2++)
                        {
                            if(cacheDataArray[a][a2] == 0)
                            {
                                return false;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                return true;
                            }
                        }
                    }       
                }        
                
                if (isFull()) //Code which only runs if the cache is full
                {
                    for (int b = 0; b < 10; b++)
                    {
                        for (int c = 0; c < 10 c++)
                        {
                            if (cacheDataArray[b][c] == lruArray[0])
                            {
                                cacheDataArray[b][c] = testData[j];
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

Theres more code than that in the program, just didnt want to go overkill on the code. If there aren't any apparent errors in this code Ill put the rest =)

Yeah, well the problem is on some line before this. Usually either a missing ";" at the end of a statement, or a missing closing ")", "]", or "}" at the end of a respective block.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Ive had a thorough look and can't see any missing brackets or semi-colons. Would it have anything to do with the method 'isFull()' being called from within another method?

[masijade]

If you mean declared/defined, and not called, yes. You can't do that. You also can't declare anything "public, private, protected, or static" from within a method.

Can you post the complete error message to see here? As masijade says the error is on a previous line of a code.

[lukermsdn111]

I have just worked out the error in my ways, but many thanks for the reply. I was declaring a method within another method and thus the error message.

In your way, huh? In combination with your cross-posted topic in Daniweb?

[lukermsdn111]

Sorry, I didnt realise it was a sin to cross-post. I was merely in search of an answer and thought it judicious to ask around wherever I could.

[Eranga]

You people really doing this? See how this person says that he found the solution by himself. I really hate that.

It's not as long as the people answering are being told that the question has been asked elsewhere and what answers have already been given (and keep them up to date). No one likes wasting their time providing an answer or suggestion that has already been given.
