<Identifier> expected ---> What does this mean???

[CodeTilYaDrop]

I am still pretty new to programming, and I sometimes can not figure something out. I am getting an error with this line in my program:

Public void count_syllables (int count_syllables )

I get the error <identifier expected>. What does this mean. I can not seem to make it go away!?

If you can't tell me how to fix it, could you please let me know what the <identifier> error means in layman's terms. The definition I found does not seem to shed any light on it for me.

First, the keyword Public does not exist in Java. You want the keyword public (note the case difference).

If this doesn't fix your error, check your curly braces before this line - it is likely you are missing a } for one of your {'s.

Thanks Ganon11! This solved my issue with that line! I noticed the public the next time I looked at it, and it still gave me the error! It was the braces that messed me up! The braces get me every once in a while still!! Problem Solved
