'(' expected error in JAVA HELP!

[eel]

May I know what does it meant by '(' expected error?
and it points to { in command window...

is that meant we need to use () instead of {}?

The code is as below:
public class POP

public void IOI
{ -> (THIS IS THE ERROR THAT I GOT)
String STUDENT ID;
String To;

May I know what's wrong?

Is 'IOI' a method? Please do read the basic Java tutorials before you start guessing and banging more or less random code snippets.

kind regards,

Jos

ps. 'IOI' is a silly name.
