public class TreeStory {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
// etc...
} // this ends main()
} // this ends TreeStory

56,413 PointsThat error happens when you don't nest your curly braces correctly and are missing an end brace. Can you post your code so we can see where the mistake is?
