Java triangle programs

Question

I have to write two programs that draw two arrows, one that points right, and one that points left. according to the assignment the program must have two drived classes. one called right arrow and one called left arrow.
this is what I have and its not even compiling:
public class leftarrow
     private int base;
     public Triangle()
          super();
          base = 0;
     public Triangle(int theoffset, int thebase)
          super(theoffset);
          base = thebase;
     public void reset(int newoffset, int newbase)
          setoffset(newoffset);
          base = newbase;
     public void drawbase()
          spaces(getoffset());
          int count;
          for (count = 0; count < base; count++)
               System.out.print("*");
          System.out.println();
     private void drawTop()
          int startOfLine = getOffset() + (base/2);
          spaces(startOfLine);
          System.out.println("*");
          int count;
          int lineCount = (base/2) - 1;
          int insideWidth = 1;
          for (count = 0; count < lineCount; count++)
               startOfLIne--;
               spaces(startOfLine);
               System.out.print("*");
               spaces(insideWidth);
               System.out.println("*");
               insideWidth = insideWidth + 2;
     private static void spaces(int number)
          int count;
          for (count = 0; count < number; count++)
               system.out.print (" ");
I would appreciate any help you experts could give me

ok, I fixed the two things that you said, here is the new code:
    public class LeftArrow
         private int base;
         public LeftArrow()
              super();
              base = 0;
         public LeftArrow(int theoffset, int thebase)
              super(theoffset);
              base = thebase;
         public void reset(int newoffset, int newbase)
              setoffset(newoffset);
              base = newbase;
         public void drawbase()
              spaces(getoffset());
              int count;
              for (count = 0; count < base; count++)
                   System.out.print("*");
              System.out.println();
         private void drawTop()
              int startOfLine = getOffset() + (base/2);
              spaces(startOfLine);
              System.out.println("*");
              int count;
              int lineCount = (base/2) - 1;
              int insideWidth = 1;
              for (count = 0; count < lineCount; count++)
                   startOfLIne--;
                   spaces(startOfLine);
                   System.out.print("*");
                   spaces(insideWidth);
                   System.out.println("*");
                   insideWidth = insideWidth + 2;
         private static void spaces(int number)
              int count;
              for (count = 0; count < number; count++)
                   system.out.print (" ");
    }now i'm getting the following errors

P.S. thanks a bunch you guys.
