Main.java [379:1] illegal start of expression
bins = start*;
^


Anyone know how to fix this



It is within a for loop

aidan_walsh

bins = start * bins; //Assumes that bins is an array of primitive numbers of the same type as start

JohnnyBravo

for (int i =0; i< MaxBin; i++);
{
int start = 30/MaxBin;
bins = start*;
}
System.out.println("x" + bins);
}


Thats the loop

Illegal start of expression is usually a good time to cast your eyes to the lines before it. Check you're not missing any semicolons or brackets. If you can't find it, post your code (or the section it's occuring in).

[Edit: Remove the semicolon after the for() statement. You should also ways have a double on the left hand side of an assignment where division takes place on the RHS. If accuracy isn't important, replace the RHS with '(int)(30/MaxBins)'

If your just trying to multiply start by i, remove the square brackets.

I can't really tell what your trying to do though... Not sure if your trying to multiply by i, or by the value in i's position in bins.

cheers lads that did the trick
