Trouble from the beginning

Question

Hello all,
Just starting this program and allready have compile errors that I don't understand if you could enlighten me as to why i am getting these that would be highly obliged.
Thanks again in advance
Here are the errors:
A:\Chapter04\MyType.java:14: <identifier> expected
     public class static void main(String[] args)
^
A:\Chapter04\MyType.java:34: '{' expected
^
A:\Chapter04\MyType.java:35: '}' expected
^
3 errors
Tool completed with exit code 1
And my code so far
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class MyType
     public class static void main(String[] args)
          //Declare variables
          String strChoice, strTryString, strTryInt, strTryDouble;
          int choice, tryInt;
          double tryDouble;
          boolean done = false;
          String answer = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What's My Type\n\n1) String\n2) Integer\n3) double\4) Quit the program");
          if (answer == null) finish();
          choice = Integer.parseInt(answer);
          return choice;
     // The finish method ends the program.
     public static void finish()
          System.exit(0);

Please read this tutorial about class creation. Your errors are basic and you apparently don't understand what you're doing, so just correcting them for you does not seem to be a solution of value.

Two hints - the errors relate to a bad method statement, and look at brackets.
