What is wrong with my code?

What is wrong with this code, 

public class PictureBook {}


public String mTitle {}

Also, shouldn't the first line read public class Picturebook {};

it wouldn't accept the semicolon at the end of it it keeps telling

class interface or enum expected.

Help?

Not indenting the second line didn't work as well.

Hi Rob,

You current have your mTitle property defined outside the class; not within it like the task is asking for and have also given it curly braces which won't work, simply change it like the below and it will work as expected.

public class PictureBook {
  public String mTitle;
}

Also, shouldn't the first line read public class Picturebook {};

Classes don't require semi-colons as they're encapsulated code blocks meaning it only requires you to use semi-colons for the properties you define within the class, any code before or after the class isn't affected by not having a semi-colon there.
