You forgot a semicolon (probably on line 7/8 of the program.) or otherwise you've got something else slightly messed up, care to post the code?

Pro Tip: Read the compiler errors.

It's a pretty self explanatory error; although you may not be used to interpreting them.

It's telling you that in the source code file Arithmatic.java on line number 8 that the compiler expected to find a ';' character but none was found. Typically this means you have a statement which should be terminated with a ';' character but you've omitted it.

The general format of these compiler errors is as follows;

Arithmatic.java:8: ';' expected
<Source Code File>:<Line Number>:<Error Description>
