And you plan to tell what is the error message?

Member 13946636 13-Aug-18 4:29am

It says illegal start of expression

What is the code before this ?

(the error is here at the private static void menu I have it marked with red )
And you have found the error message ?

Member 13946636 13-Aug-18 4:31am

It says illegal start of expression

Without the error message that's being thrown, there's nothing anyone can do to help you.

Solution 1

Look at the error message, and at the code immediately before the function it is complaining about - very often the line that the compiler reports a problem with is after the actual error because that's when the problem is detectable. Much the same way that you only find a page is missing from a book because a sentence that starts before the missing page doesn't end on the next one!

Solution 3

You should try to add a '}' there

Java

menu () ;
} // try to add this line
private static void menu () {
