Need help please!im getting confused!

Question

Hi,im trying to create a simple prog that would give me lollipops (10p) and doughnuts(20p) enough to spend 1 pound (100p) in random order using math.random and methods...Im getting very confused with
the combination of these and my code according to the book seems fine,but im getting an error of <identifier> expected at the "private double myMoney" line and ')' expected at the same line...
Here's the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class Lollipop2 extends Applet {
          private double myMoney (MoneyGiven){
          int MoneyGiven = 100;
          int MoneyPaid = (int)(Math.random() * 2) + 1;
     return MoneyPaid; }
public void paint(Graphics g) {
     if (MoneyPaid = 1 || MoneyGiven = 10 && MoneyGiven >0){
drawLollipop(g, 10, 10, 30, 60);
g.drawString("10p", xPos, yPos);
     MoneyGiven -= 10;}
if (MoneyPaid = 2 && MoneyGiven >0){
drawRing(g, Color.magenta,40,40,30,12);
g.drawString("20p", topX, topY);
     MoneyGiven -= 20;}
private void drawLollipop(Graphics gIn, int xPos, int yPos, int width, int height){
gIn.drawRect(xPos, yPos, width, height);
gIn.drawRect(xPos+width/2, yPos+height, 4,15);
private void drawRing(Graphics gIn, Color ringColor, int topX, int topY, int diameter, int thickness){
gIn.setColor(ringColor);
gIn.fillOval(topX,topY, diameter, diameter);
gIn.setColor(Color.white);
gIn.fillOval(topX+thickness,topY+thickness, diameter-2*thickness, diameter-2*thickness);
gIn.setColor(Color.black);
Can someone please help me???

Im getting very confused with
the combination of these and my code according to the
book seems fine,Nope, your code is not according to the book, starting by the name conventions, your variables should start with lowercase and each word inside the var name should start with uper case and your brackets use is disturbing, the closing brackets should be on its own line.
Besides that:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class Lollipop2 extends Applet {
private double myMoney (/* here you should havae the type of money given, like: int, long, float, double, BigDecimal, etc. */MoneyGiven){
int MoneyGiven = 100; /* here you are reusing the parameter name as a local variable. */
int MoneyPaid = (int)(Math.random() * 2) + 1;
return MoneyPaid; } /* Your method signature is double but you return int, it may give you a warning. */
public void paint(Graphics g) {
  /* Bellow in the condition:
   * 1 - there is no MoneyPaid or MoneyGiven vars anywhere to code to use.
   * 2 - You are using attribution(=) to the variable instead of comparation (==)
if (MoneyPaid = 1 || MoneyGiven = 10 && MoneyGiven
0){drawLollipop(g, 10, 10, 30, 60);
g.drawString("10p", xPos, yPos);
MoneyGiven -= 10;}
if (MoneyPaid = 2 && MoneyGiven >0){
drawRing(g, Color.magenta,40,40,30,12);
g.drawString("20p", topX, topY);
MoneyGiven -= 20;}
private void drawLollipop(Graphics gIn, int xPos, int
yPos, int width, int height){
gIn.drawRect(xPos, yPos, width, height);
gIn.drawRect(xPos+width/2, yPos+height, 4,15);
private void drawRing(Graphics gIn, Color ringColor,
int topX, int topY, int diameter, int thickness){
gIn.setColor(ringColor);
gIn.fillOval(topX,topY, diameter, diameter);
gIn.setColor(Color.white);
gIn.fillOval(topX+thickness,topY+thickness,
diameter-2*thickness, diameter-2*thickness);
gIn.setColor(Color.black);
