how you guyz recognize error so earlly , can you give me some tips .please

[Bear Bibeault]

First, you didn't follow conventions and use an initial capital letter for the class name. Second, having been writing Java for over 10 years, I simply recognized that you were trying to use a reserved word.

[Rob Spoor]

Of course, getting our certification helps in recognizing one of the more obscure reserved words. I say obscure because it's reserved yet has no meaning (yet). goto is the other not-used reserved word, and let's hope it stays that way. I wouldn't mind if const would finally get meaning (like an array that cannot be modified, or for immutable objects where the immutability is guaranteed by the compiler), but goto... brrrrrrr.

You want a tip?

If you look, the word "const" is in a special/different color, so it means is a reserved word and
cannot be used as a class/method/constructor/variable name
