illegal start of expression??

[Fazz]

When attempting to compile the following code, i recieved the message, 'illegal start of expression', with the line in bold, highlighted. Any ideas what that would mean???


private void go() {
String test = "Mary had a little lamb";
for(StringTokenizer token = new StringTokeizer(test); token.hasMoreTokens() {
String word = token.nextToken();
System.out.println("Word = " + word);
}
}

Hi,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

It generally means that there's a real error on a line before this. The most likely problem is a missing close-brace, so that this method declaration seems to appear inside the preceding method.
