In my program on the last line I have:

}

but when I run the program I get an error message of:

reached end of file while parsing

can anyone help with correcting this problem?

Some of your curly brackets don't pair up; check them out.

I reviewed each curly bracket and the one that doesn't match up I added another and then more errors came. So I just took that bracket back out what do you think?

A compiler first checks the syntactical structure of your source code; missing
brackets are noticed almost immediately; next, an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
is constructed (if the previous phase completed without errors) and more
analisys is performed on that AST.

First you missed a bracket so the AST wasn't even constructed; then you put
that bracket in and the compiler attempted to construct the AST and further
errors were found.

Put that bracket back in and solve those other errors; that's the only reasonable
way to get a working program. The only alternative is to remove *all* your code
and compile an empty class "public class Useless { }" but I don't consider that
a reasonable alternative.

kind regards,
