Help with making a interest program

Question

hi i am trying to make a program that calculates simple and compound interest.... I KNOW I HAVENT done the compound part yeat but im having problems compiling the simple interest part.. please help.. here is the code :
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Financial_Maths
     public static void main(String [] args)
          Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
          System.out.println("This program can calculate either Compund or Simple Interest, depending on which you choose.");
          System.out.println("Press '1' for Simple Interest or press '2' for Compound Interest");
          double sc = kb.nextDouble();
          if (sc = 1)
          double p;
          double interest;
double period;
          double amount;
          System.out.println("Enter the Principle Amount");
          double p = kb.nextDouble();
          System.out.println("Enter the Interest Rate (As a %)");
          double interest = kb.nextDouble();
          System.out.println("Enter the Time Period in Years");
          double period = kb.nextDouble();
          amount = p*(1+(interest/100)*period);
I am getting this problem when compiling:
----jGRASP exec: javac -g J:\IT\Financial_Maths.java
Financial_Maths.java:11: '.class' expected
          double p;
          ^
Financial_Maths.java:11: not a statement
          double p;
          ^
2 errors
----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
----jGRASP: operation complete.
THANKS PLEASE REPLY SOON

use this code ...    public static void main(String [] args)
    Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.println("This program can calculate either Compund or Simple Interest, depending on which you choose.");
    System.out.println("Press '1' for Simple Interest or press '2' for Compound Interest");
    double sc = kb.nextDouble();
    if (sc == 1){
    System.out.println("Enter the Principle Amount");
    double p = kb.nextDouble();
    System.out.println("Enter the Interest Rate (As a %)");
    double interest = kb.nextDouble();
    System.out.println("Enter the Time Period in Years");
    double period = kb.nextDouble();
    double amount = p*(1+(interest/100)*period);
    System.out.println(amount);
    }
