Invalid start of expression error

This is my first post, so I hope this is the right section.
I am trying to do an if statement to check for a flush in my poker game and I am getting an "Illegal start of expression " error.
Here is the loop:
for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++)
            if ((bestHands[0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][1].getSuit())&&(bestHands[i][0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][2].getSuit()) && (bestHands[i][0].getSuit()) == bestHands[i][3].getSuit()) && (bestHands[i][0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][4].getSuit())
flush = true;
Any help would be appreciated

Yea, I did.
Here is the fixed code:
for (int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++)
            if ((bestHands[0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][1].getSuit())&&(bestHands[i][0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][2].getSuit()) && (bestHands[i][0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][3].getSuit()) && (bestHands[i][0].getSuit() == bestHands[i][4].getSuit()))
flush = true;

  • Illegal start of expression error

    Hi, I keep getting an illegal start of expression error at the first parentheses of the main method, and I can't find the reason why. Any hints?
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.text.*;
    public class driver
        public static void main(String[] args)
              private String numerator, denominator;
              private Scanner inScan = new Scanner(System.in);
              System.out.print("Enter a numerator: ");
              numerator = inScan.nextLine(); //get numerator
              System.out.print("Enter a denominator: ");
              denominator = inScan.nextLine(); //get denominator
              EgyptianFraction fraction = new EgyptianFraction(numerator,denominator);
    }

    String numerator, numerator;
    Scanner inScan = new Scanner(System.in);Variables numerator, numerator and inScan are local variable, so there is no private modifer.
    Suggestion: name your class Driver. There is a widely held coding convention that classes should start with a capital letter.

    You're trying to define those methods inside another method (the "main" method, in this case). Don't do that.

  • How am i getting an illegal start of expression error?

    Hi,
    i am new to this forumn, and still fairly new to java i gues. i get an illegal start of expression in the following code at the line...
    data [arrayCounter] = {fn,ln,hp,ha,hc,hs,hz};
    any ideas as to why?
        public class customersDatabase {
            String[] columnNames = new String[10];
            private Object[][] theData = new Object[1000][10];
            public customersDatabase() {
            String[] employeeNameArray = new String[10];
            String retrieveString = "SELECT * FROM customerTable";
            Statement stmt;
            try {
                Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
                System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
                System.err.println(e.getMessage());
            try {
                con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, null, null);
                stmt = con.createStatement();
                ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(retrieveString);
                int arrayCounter = 0;
                while (rs.next()) {
                    String fn = rs.getString("FIRSTNAME");
                    String ln = rs.getString("LASTNAME");
                    String hp = rs.getString("HOMEPHONE");
                    String ha = rs.getString("HOMEADDRESS");
                    String hc = rs.getString("HOMECITY");
                    String hs = rs.getString("HOMESTATE");
                    String hz = rs.getString("HOMEZIP");
                    data [arrayCounter] = {fn,ln,hp,ha,hc,hs,hz};
                    System.out.println(fn+ln+hp+ha+hc+hs+hz);
                    arrayCounter ++;
                stmt.close();
                con.close();
            } catch(SQLException ex) {
                System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
        }

    Change it to:
    data [arrayCounter] = new String[] {fn,ln,hp,ha,hc,hs,hz};(or new Object[], but I don't know why your array is declared as Object[][], anyway, if you only put Strings in it.
    You can only use the initialization you used when first declaring the variable.
    Also, "data" should be "theData", I think.

  • An illegal start of expression!

    Hi, A fairly simple question. trying to call a method from the same class gives me an illegal start of expression error. Any ideas how to sort it out.
    methodname(); //thats how i am calling the method.
    public void methodname() //this is my method
    rubbish in it

    Here is the code, I cannot spot what is causing it.

  • Tecra M9 - PCI Express Error at start-up

    Hello Everybody ..
    I own a Toshiba Tecra M9 (PTM91E-04R03TEN)
    http://www.toshiba.ie/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=IE#tab0;
    On switching on,- Its Showing the Toshiba splach screen and then "PCI Express error." on a black screen
    I can't get beyond this Black Screen
    and I can't get into BIOS ??..
    One time it did manage to boot up fully, I left it running for a while as I save information from the HDD. but then the problem started again .
    I believe this is a problem with the nvidia GPU ( Fatigue cracking on the BGA )
    I have the Laptop stripted down .. and have purchased ArctiClean , Thermal Pad, & Arctic Silver for the "repair"
    Should I have somebody scan the hardware and to find the troublemaker ? ..OR.. should I just reflow the GPU .
    I'm technically minded .. but not a PC / Laptop technican :(..
    any Instruction on how to proceed would be greatfully received ..
    Should i just " bung it in the oven" and see how it goes ? :) :) .
    Regards,
    Peter

    Hi
    I found and read your other post regarding this issue and in my opinion the PCI Express error is related to an PCI device (i.e miniPCI module like WLan / Bluetooth, etc ) connected to the motherboard.
    Of course I cannot say for sure that this issue isnt related to a GPU malfunction.
    Usually such details can be provided only by an service engineer who checked the notebooks hardware.
    Generally I dont recommend to disassemble the notebook. Its very tricky to perform such procedure and of course there is always a risk of part damage doing such procedure without any instructions.

    I'd guess you're missing a } somewhere in there. I'm not going to try checking, because I'm not good at matching up braces which are all aligned on the left. (Hint: in future, when posting code wrap it in &#91;code] ).

    Hi Siddesh,
    Check the control_form in the driver program.Parameter which your passing for the output options is wrong check with it.

  • Easy Question: Illegal Start of Expression

    This is a ridiculously easy question... but I am having trouble with it...
    Anyway, here is the line of code that is giving me trouble:
    jButtons = {{jButton1, jButton5, jButton9, jButton13},
    {jButton2, jButton6, jButton10, jButton14},
    {jButton3, jButton7, jButton11, jButton15},
    {jButton4, jButton8, jButton12, jButton16}};
            That's it. jButton1 through jButton16 are all jButton objects (for a GUI). jButtons is an array (4 by 4) of jButton. All are global variables, the buttons are all initilized (in fact, that was the problem I had before, and why I need to put this here: otherwise I get a null pointer exception).
    Surprisingly, such a simple line of code causes TONS of errors to occur. To save space, {...} * 2 means that the exception occurs twice in a row, errors are separated by comma's.
    { Illegal Start of Expression, {Not a statement, ; required} * 2} * 4, Empty statement
    A similar statement (int[] test = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}};) works perfectly fine.
    Please help, doing this will reduce the size of my code to about a third of the size of the code. And then I can laugh in the faces of those people who say that I write long, and in-efficient code! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
    However, I will keep at it, and Murphy's Law states I will find a solution 10 seconds after posting. If I do, I will edit this post, and tell you guys the answer ;)
    [Edit]In case you are wondering... all my other code is correct. Here is the adjacent 3 methods:

    You can only initialise an array like that when you declare it at the same time. Otherwise you have to do as suggested above.
    int[] numbers = {1,2,3,4}; //ok
    int[] numbers;
    numbers = {1,2,3,4}; // not ok

    [javac] 1 errorIt's saying that on line 62 of MainWindow.java, you have an illegal start of expression, and it's showing you exactly the line of code that's causing it.
    The fix is to stop doing what you're doing, because it's not valid Java. How you do that depends on what you're trying to accomplish with that particular line of code, which is what I was asking before.
