Bracket errors in compiler?

Not sure why my brackets are red and my leading Class bracket is highlighted red, paired with the end bracket of my final method. I tried to clear all brackets to redo them and still nothing.

    SongBook songBook = new SongBook();
    System.out.printf(Adding %s %n", song);
    songBook.addSong(song);
    System.out.printf("There are %d songs. %n",
                       songBook.getSongCount());
    }

Hi Blake.

I guess you are missing an (") in:

//ORIGINAL -> System.out.printf(Adding %s %n", song);
 System.out.printf("Adding %s \n", song);  // <- CORRECT

the (%n) is doing nothing there, if you want to add a next line the correct way is to add a (\n) not a (%n).

ALSO there is a (;) out of place

/* ORIGINAL
    Song song = new Song(
      "Michael Jackson",
      "Beat It";
      "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaEC9i9QOvK");
*/

//CORRECT
Song song = new Song(
      "Michael Jackson",
      "Beat It",
      "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaEC9i9QOvK");

Nope it's there. It has done it on my Karaoke and Song class where there errors are on the bracket lines.

Sorry for the edits, was adding stuff as i was reading the code more carefully, the bracket problem should have been because of that (;) out of plase that should be a (,)

I might just launch a new workspace and start over because I think its just glitched out. It says I have 9 errors.
