Illegal start of expression

[Robster]

Hey there,

I'm in a spot of bother and really struggling with finding what the problem,

 import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
   public class ProcessingSpeed {
      public static void main (String args[]) {;
         String output = "\n";
      
         int arraySize = Keyboard.getInt("enter the amount of processors");
         String[] processors = new String[arraySize];
         int[] clockspeed = new int[arraySize];
         int[] databus = new int[arraySize];
         int[] cachememory = new int[arraySize];
         int[] points = new int[arraySize];
         String[] stars = new String[arraySize]; 
         int[] clockpoints = new int[arraySize];
         for (int loop = 0; loop<arraySize; loop++) {;
         
            processors[loop] = Keyboard.getText("Please enter the processor");
            clockspeed[loop] = Keyboard.getInt("please enter the clock speed of processor");
               databus[loop] = Keyboard.getInt("please enter the lines on data bus");
           cachememory[loop] = Keyboard.getInt("please enter the amount of cache memory");
         //============================================================================
         //calculate clockspeed points
       
         
            if (!(clockspeed[] < 2)) {;
               clockpoints[] == 10;
         
            else if (!(clockspeed[] > 2 || clockspeed[] <= 3))
               clockpoints[] = 20;
         
            else  (!(clockspeed[] > 3))
               clockpoints[] = 30;
            };// end if
								
         //============================================================================
         // calculate cache memory points
         
         
            double pointsforcache = cachememory[]/10;
            String pointsforcache0dp = String.format("%0f" , pointsforcache);
            int pointc = pointsforcache0dp;
         //=============================================================================
         //calucate total points
         
            int points = clockpoints[] + pointc + databus;
         
         //=============================================================================
         //calculate stars given
         
            if (!(points[] <=50)){;
               stars[] = "*";
            };// end if 
         
            if (!(points[] > 50 && points[] <=150)){;
               stars[] = "**";
            }; // end if
         
            if (!(points[] > 200)){;
               stars[] = "***";
            };//end if
         
         
         }// end loop
      //================================================================================
         output += processors[] + " " + points[] + "" + stars[];
         Screen.display(output, "processor");
      }//end main
   }//end class

The errors i get when i complile is this;

----jGRASP exec: javac -g ProcessingSpeed.java

ProcessingSpeed.java:24: illegal start of type
if (!(clockspeed[] < 2)) {;
^
ProcessingSpeed.java:24: illegal start of expression
if (!(clockspeed[] < 2)) {;
^

i get the same error for the rest of the program.


Any help would be appreciated, its been bothering me for the past 6 hours.

What's that semi colon doing there at the end of line #24?

kind regards,

Jos

it was just one of the mistakes i have made here which i would have fixed as i continued to sort it. But i can't seem to find or understand why i am getting this error.

I gave it a bit closer look; your code is full of errors, e.g. you're using those square brackets [] all over the place and they don't belong there. There are spurious semi colons everywhere and that Keyboard (class?) isn't defined anywhere; if I were you I'd start again because this code is beyond repair ...

kind regards,

Jos
