    You may want to start by putting your code into the proper syntax, check above. I find it easier starting with a compiling IDE program like netbeans and going with the basics. Look at the tutorials on the website or download/purchase a book like Java Programming for Dummies. It appears to be good, unfortunately I am trying to learn at my professors pace and it's frustrating. Good luck and welcome.
