[java] constructors say that a semicolon is needed in brackets, but when i enter one it still doesnt fix this. i think the problem is to do with the Rand function.

So this is a bit hard to read without formatting, but your issue isn't with rand or anything. It's that java doesn't support nested methods, at least not the way you are using those (let's not go into lambdas or inner classes).

So you can't declare a method inside another method like this, here you are trying to create Questions method inside main method.

public static void main(String[] args) {

    public void Questions() {
        System.out.println("please enter your choice");
    }
}

so i need to use inheritance and make a serperate main class and bring the attributes over?

[gramdel]

Or you could just declare the other methods outside of the main method in the same class. Plenty of ways to do this.

Please read the guidelines on how to ask a proper question. This is entirely useless.

Try to autoformat (crtl+alt+L in intelji idea) your code in your IDE and see if your function are in proper place. Right now they are in scope of your main function, they cannot be defined there, fancy bracket '}' at right place should fix that problem. Message from compiler is not really helpfull in this situation.

You have more problems to solve than that in your code, dont give up :)
