Error help on println

[JMaia]

Hi, I started studying java on my own a few days back. Anyway, can plase someone tell me what is wrong with this piece of code?:

public class bananas {
	
	int width =2 , height = 5;
	int area = getArea() ;
	System.out.println("The area is " + area);
	int getArea (){
		return (width * height);
	}

}

Eclipse says - Syntax error on token "println", = expected after
this token
- Syntax error on token(s), misplaced construct(s)


Thanks for the help
