Issue getting program to compile

Question

Here is my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Vowels
     static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          char ch;
          System.out.print("Enter a letter of the alphabet " +
                              "to see if it is a vowel: ");
               ch = console.next().charAt(0);
          System.out.println();
          System.out.println(isVowel(char ch));
     public static boolean isVowel(char ch)
          switch (ch)
               case 'a': case 'e': case 'i': case 'o': case 'u':
               case 'A': case 'E': case 'I': case 'O': case 'U':
                    return true;
          return false;
}When compiled I get:
C:\temp\Vowels.java:19: '.class' expected
          System.out.println(isVowel(char ch));
^
C:\temp\Vowels.java:19: ')' expected
          System.out.println(isVowel(char ch));
^

You don't "put it" anywhere. It's not a copy/paste. It's there to show you the pattern.
Read what I wrote. Do you understand the difference between declaring (or defining) a method and calling a method?
Look at where the errors are ocurring.
Look at what you have there.
Look at my code. Notice how I showed declaring a method and calling a method. You're getting the error because you're calling the method, but the stuff you put in the parentheses is like you're declaring it. Get rid of the "char" inside the parens.
