compile error ?

Question about the task

Archived

i am dealing with a compile error . from line 25 of task 0614. i do not understand since the error is from code provided to complete task . file com/codegym/task/task06/task0614/ Cat.java/line 25/position 353. illegal start of expression. public static void printCats() ^ Thanks

1. In the Cat class, add the public static ArrayList<Cat> variable cats.
2. Each time a new cat (new Cat object) is created, add it to the variable cats. Create 10 Cat objects.
3. The printCats method should display all cats on the screen. You need to use the variable cats.

Requirements:

Add the public static ArrayList<Cat> variable cats to the Cat class.
The variable cats must be initialized.
The main method should create 10 Cat objects (use the Cat() constructor).
The main method must add all the created cats to the variable cats.
The printCats method should display all the cat objects in the variable cats. Each on a new line.

package com.codegym.task.task06.task0614; import java.util.ArrayList; /* Static cats */ public class Cat { public static ArrayList<Cat> cats = new ArrayList<>(); public Cat() { } public static void main(String[] args) { for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { cats.add(new Cat()); printCats(); } public static void printCats() { System.out.println(cats); } } }

public class Cat {
     public static ArrayList<Cat> cats = new ArrayList<>();


    public Cat() {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
             cats.add(new Cat());
        // missing closing curley bracket here


        printCats();
    }

    public static void printCats() {
         System.out.println(cats);

    }
}
} // this is one too many curley brackets
