Code block

In the video it does not show the end code block so it always says "reached end of file while parsing"

ahm, it is easy, every code has an order, some times you can use [ "code here..."] or some times other type, like the most popular in java{"other code here..."},(curly brace ). lets think this parenthesis like making a balance and keeping a sort of order inside, that means you got something special there (a code offcourse a method...even a coment) the compiler always check this, and if the compiler find there is no balance, like a starting parenthesis (..... and no end of it, that will be called like a "reached end of file while parsing" .... so do not make your code unbalance....close all the parenthesis, but if you forgot it, the compiler is there to help you.
