Thread: "Illegal Start of Expression" ?? CANT SOLVE

Methods can not be defined inside of other methods. Make sure all method definitions are ended with a } before starting the definition of the next method.

Hint: It helps keep track of the end of a method by putting a comment on the ending } with the name of the method it is ending

   } // end main()

Start with the definition for the first method in the class. Find the { at the beginning of its definition
Then look for the } at the end of its definition that pairs with that beginning {.

There should NOT be any other methods defined between the { at the beginning of the method's definition
and the } that ends that method's definition

Did you add comments to the }s that end each method's definition? Doing that will help you see where the method definitions are.

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

Proper formatting will also make it easier to see.

Your milligrams function is inside of your main function, move it outside of the function. You can still call it from inside the main function, you just cant define it inside the main function.

Congrats you call them all methods. A function returns something, a procedure does not (aka a method that returns void). Some people just cant let go of the C++ and ADA terminology. Please forgive me oh powerful one!
