Syntax Error

What This Error Means

This error occurs when Java encounters syntax that does not conform to the language's rules. In this case, Java is expecting a pair of curly brackets ({}), but instead it finds the keyword "return".

Why It Happens

This error typically happens when a developer forgets to wrap a method or class body in curly brackets. This can also occur if the developer accidentally types the keyword "return" instead of a left curly bracket.

How to Fix It

1. 1To fix this error, the developer must ensure that they have correctly formatted the method or class with curly brackets. They should either remove the keyword "return" and replace it with a left curly bracket, or ensure that the code is properly indented and contains the correct syntax.

Example Code Solution

public void main() {
    return

public void main() {
    System.out.println("Hello World");
}
