Getting error in this code??? why is that so?

[Vishal Hegde]

class Demo1
{
    byte a=124;
    int x=a;
    int b=3;
    
    a=(byte)b;
    
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
    System.out.println(new Demo1().x); 
   }
 }

Are we supposed to guess what the error is? Please TellTheDetails.

Looking at your code , line 7 is invalid. You can't put arbitrary statements at class level, only variable declarations with an optional initialization value.

public class demo1 {
 
     
  public static void main(String args[])
    {
      byte a = 124;
    int x=a;
    int b=3;
       a = (byte)b;
    System.out.println(x);
   }

}   

I think you wan to do this
