Question

When I try to compile this, it keeps saying that there is an illegal start of expression at the bottom - on the line "public void result() { ". Can anyone help me fix this?


import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class LineScrabble extends Echo{
int sum = 0;
int score = 0;
String winnerLine = " ";

public LineScrabble(String f) throws IOException
{
super(f);
}

int[] a = new int[]{1,3,3,2,1,4,2,4,1,8,5,1,3,1,1,3,10,1,1,1,1,4,4,8,4,10};

public void processLine(String line){
String line1 = line.toLowerCase();

int value;
for (int j = 0; j < line1.length(); j++){
value = line1.charAt(j) - 'a';
if(value >= 0 && value < 26)
sum = sum + letter(value);
}

if (sum > score){
sum = score;
line = winnerLine;
}

public void result(){
System.out.println("winner" + winnerLine);
System.out.println("Score" + score);
}
}
}

Here's the echo class, should you need it -

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;

public class Echo{
String fileName; // external file name
Scanner scan; // Scanner object for reading from external file

public Echo(String f) throws IOException
{
fileName = f;
scan = new Scanner(new FileReader(fileName));
}

public void readLines(){ // reads lines, hands each to processLine
while(scan.hasNext()){
processLine(scan.nextLine());
}
scan.close();
}

public void processLine(String line){ // does the real processing work
System.out.println(line);
}
}

Explanation / Answer

Errors:- import java.io.*; import java.util.*; Correct ones:- import java.io*; import java.util.Scanner*; Remaining code is correct and working also
