    Default Trying to print a method for a table

    I'm trying to print a method for a table and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    I did this:

    {
    public static void report Table();
    { System.out.printf("Report");
    System.out.printf("name " + "value " + "message"); }

    then I get an error message of
    Report.java:33: error: ';' expected
    report Table();
    ^
    Report.java:50: error: illegal start of expression
    public static void report Table();
    ^
    Report.java:50: error: illegal start of expression
    public static void report Table();
    ^
    Report.java:50: error: ';' expected
    public static void report Table();
    ^
    Report.java:50: error: ';' expected
    public static void report Table();
    ^
    What am I doing wrong?

    Method names cannot contain spaces, and if you want to define the method body (which it looks like you do), then you shouldn't put a semicolon after the method declaration.
