Error with declaring a method with array variable

Question

Hi,
I had implemented this:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Oefening1
     public static void main(String args[])
          int array[]= new int[10];
          int getal;
          JTextArea outputArea = new JTextArea();
          Container container = getContentPane();
          container.add(outputArea);
          public void invoerRij(int array[10])
               output +=" ";
               for(int counter = 0; counter <10;counter++){
                    output +="Geef een getal in"+"\n"+array[counter]+"\n";
                    outputArea.setText(output);
I had comilated this code while the compiler gave errors like these:
A:\Oefening1.java:15: illegal start of expression
          public void invoerRij(int array[10])
^
A:\Oefening1.java:24: ';' expected
^
A:\Oefening1.java:12: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method getContentPane ()
location: class Oefening1
          Container container = getContentPane();
^
3 errors
Tool completed with exit code 1
Now i have read my book and finded out that the declaration of a method always starts with public.
Can anyone halp me solving these probs? Thanks

The problem is that you didn't close the previous method definition.
Compiler error messages (in any language) often mistakenly report false errors on perfectly valid code immediately following the actual error.
When you post code on these forums, please wrap in in &#91;code]&#91;/code] tags.
