some silly simple mistake..

[confused]

what is wrong with this program??
it says error in line 57: type expected. i have pointed to the error next to it.i am trying to draw a box as an array horizontally on the left of the screen.

hai,

the for loop is not inside any method, it open outside the class thats why givein the error

thanks Bharat,
i put he counter in the "draw" method. now it compiles, but doesnt show anything in the appletviewer.I think theres something
wrong where i have called Graphics g: i have put no method in the {} there. what do i need to put there? if not there, where is the
error? thanks again..
