    Default Public class Sales Tax error

    I am using jGrasp for Java programming. I am trying to key in public class SalesTax and it throws an error for public class.



    import java.util.Scanner; // Needed for the Scanner class /** This program calculates the total price which includes sales tax.*/ public class SalesTax { public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    // Identifier Declarations final double TAX_RATE = 0.055; double price; double tax; double total; String item; // Create a Scanner object to read from the keyboard. Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); // Display prompts and get input. System.out.print("Item description: ");
    item = keyboard.nextLine();
    System.out.print("Item price: $");
    price = keyboard.nextDouble(); // Perform the calculations. tax = price + TAX_RATE; total = price + tax; // Display the results.
    System.out.print(item + " $");
    System.out.println(price);
    System.out.print("Tax $");
    System.out.println(tax);
    System.out.print("Total $");
    System.out.println(total); } }

    Please copy the full text of the error message and paste it here. It has important info about the error.

    Note: Many lines have more than one statement or } on them. Please edit the source file to change the number of statements or } on a line to one.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
