This is confusing. I'm getting an illegal start of type error on a program, where it was nt giving me one before. I made a few changed to this area, but none that, IMO, should have had this effect (but what do I know). I appologize for the ammount of code here, but you never know what might be useful.

I get the error "Illegal Start of Expression where noted above (at if (blockIndex >= 0). That seems like it should work. I'm a bit beffudled, but at least I'm getting there.
int blockIndex = sentence.toLowerCase().indexOf("block");
if (blockIndex >= 0) //THIS IS WHERE I'M GETTING THE ERROR//
{
Block t = new Block(inputNumber.get(0), inputNumber.get(1), inputNumber.get(2));
ret = t.getVolume();
System.out.println("The calculated volume is " + ret);
return ret;
}
This section of code is not inside any method. I think you intend it to be in the previous method, calcVolumeFromDescription().
I see that and I've removed the curley brace that excludes it from the mehtod, but now I'm unable to compile for another reason.
while (reader.hasNext()){
String token = reader.next();
numbers.add(double.parseDouble(token));
}
The above is giving me the error: class exopected. I know that it's looking or me to replace double with a class or variable (I think that anyway) but there's so many variables being tossed around in there that I'm a bit unclear on which one to use. I'll probably be able to muddle thoruhg it, but if anyone sees it more clearly, feel free to say something. JAva seems to be coming along, it's just taking a while to settle in my brain. Thanks for all the help, everyone.
I suppose you didn't move the bracket to the right place but you just deleted it.
If you are using NetBeans: Use your cursor afterthe bracket at public class Lab4 {
If you now use the mousewheel to scroll down you can see where the class ends. If you have code after that closing bracket, you must move it inside the class.
