Paint is invalid type for variable paint.

[minibronya]

I am making a game and when I type in "public void paint(Graphics g) {", it says "graphics is an invalid type for variable paint." How do I fix it? Here is my code.

package maze;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;

public class board extends JPanel implements ActionListener {

private Timer timer;
public board() {
timer = new Timer(25, this);
timer.start();
}


public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
repaint();


public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);

g.setColor(Color.red);
g.fillRect(45, 60, 32, 32);

}

}
}


This is a snapshot of my screen.

You can't have a method inside another method. paint method should not be placed inside the actionPerformed method. It should be like this:

    ...
    ...
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        repaint();
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);

        g.setColor(Color.red);
        g.fillRect(45, 60, 32, 32);

    }
    ...
    ...
