You have a comma(,) at the end of line 3. Is it a typo? It would be better if you can provide the complete code.

Yea, sometimes these types of errors are caused by errors from previous lines. If the lines look okay, it's recommended to look a few lines back.

Not at all. The line ending with the comma is perfectly valid -- it could be continued with more comma-separated declarations on the next line. It's not until after that line that parser can possibly detect that something's gone awry.
