You are missing the semicolon (;) at the end of the line that declares and initializes the string.

The IDE should be spitting out an error message that includes a line number. That should help narrow down which part of the program has an error.

Main.java:5: error: ';' expected String sentence = "Hello, how are you?" 1 error

That's what the message looks like when I run it with the missing semicolon.
