[deepika deepi]

hi,

i am having an code like this for split program in java

import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.util.regex.*;


public class StringSplit {
  
    public void doit() {
        String str = "CompChamps:Guys:are:There";
        String [] temp = null;
        temp = str.split(":");
        dump(temp);
    }
 
    public void dump(String []s) {
        for (int i = 0 ; i < s.length ; i++) {
            System.out.println(s[i]);
        }
    }
}
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
    StringSplit ss = new StringSplit();
    ss.doit();
}

[Added code tags - see UseCodeTags for details]

StringSplit.java:21: class, interface, or enum expected
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{

StringSplit.java:23: class, interface, or enum expected
ss.doit();

StringSplit.java:24: class, interface, or enum expected
}

Wrong forum..

But nevertheless you have put your main method outside the class

(I've moved the forum).

It's more obvious once the code is formatted correctly (I've just added code tags and fixed the indentation - see UseCodeTags if you want to know more about them). Then you can clearly see the main method is outside the class, as Harsha says. In Java all code must be inside a class.
