In the Class Block:
Instead of making an Object (In this case a simple String) like this:
public String one = "Hello!";
I wanted to do it like this:
String one;
one = "Hello!";
but compiler throws:
error: <identifier> expected
Why? Why the second has to be within a method?
It is more than likely that
one = "Hello!"
is located in the class block. This statement must be appear inside a code block — that is; a method, constructor or static initializer. E.g.:
void myMethod() {
String one;
one = "Hello!";
}
Non declarative statements cannot appear in the class block.
