Making a function using the update query - Error message PLS-00103

Question

I keep getting the following error message in my pl/sql developer everytime, I try creating this function in my package
PLS3-00103 Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following return
Kindly note, what I am trying to do is get a user inputs to perform an update for a specific row in a table called accountingtable which is located in the ccl schema. I dont want to make a return though in my update function.
Specfication of the package
FUNCTION update_price(needed_newprice in ccl.accountingtable.price%rowtype,
partforupdate in ccl.accountingtable.part_id%rowtype,
colourpart in ccl.accountingtable.colour_id%rowtype);
body of package
FUNCTION update_price(needed_newprice in ccl.accountingtable.price%rowtype
partforupdate in ccl.accountingtable.part_id%rowtype,
colourpart in ccl.accountingtable.colour_id%rowtype);
BEGIN
update accountingtable
set price = (needed_newprice)
where part_id = (partforupdate)
and colour_id = (colourpart );
END update_price;
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
Never write, let alone post, unformatted code. Indent the code to show the extent of each function, blocks within each function, nested calls, and things like that.
When posting formatted code on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
Post complete statements that people can run to re-create the problem.
There should not be a semicolon immediately after the argument list of a function in the package body, but you do need to sepcify what datatype the function will return, and then have the keyword IS (or AS).
That is, a function starts like this in the package body :FUNCTION fubar
     in_id          IN     INTEGER
RETURN     VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
The same function is declared in the package spec like this:FUNCTION fubar
     in_id          IN     INTEGER
RETURN     VARCHAR2;
