Help on simple class definition

Question

This is just the class definition (main() is in its own file, but I was wondering if someone could help me figure out what is wrong w/ the code. I am trying to make a simple program that asks, "what is your name?", than you enter your name, and it says "hello, john, today is feb, 3rd" (or whatever).
I'm not even sure if the code is right to do what I want to do, but I can't really figure that out if it won't compile.
Oh, and here is the error message I am getting.
HelloWorld.java:26: ')' expected
System.out.println ("Hello " + yourName
^
1 error
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
class HelloWorld extends Object
HelloWorld()
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader (new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
Date currentDate = new Date();
String yourname;
System.out.println ("Hello, please enter your name: ");
yourName = in.readLine();
System.out.println ("Hello " + yourName
"Today is, " + currentDate );

Answer 1

At this point in your code a java.io.IOException might occur.
You have to declare your exception to be thrown:
HelloWorld() throws IOException Or you catch the occuring exception in a try-catch-block:
HelloWorld()
  try
   //your code here
  catch (IOException e)
   //What should be done with the exception
