Hi, I am getting the following error messages in my code. Can you help me please. Also explain why I am getting these errors so that I will know what to do and what I did to get these errors. This is my final project for my class. Thank you in advance.

FinalProject.java:4: '{' expected
private class FinalProject(String filename);

and

FinalProject.java:49: reached end of file while parsing
}
^

import java.io.*;
public class FinalProject
{
 	private class FinalProject(String filename);

   public static void main(String[] args);
	{
		new FinalProject("payroll.dat");

    {
       InputStream istream;
        OutputStream ostream;
        File outputFile = new File("Payroll.dat");
        int k;
        istream = System.in;
        try
        {
           ostream = new FileOutputStream(outputFile);
            System.out.println("Add payroll Amount");
            try
            {
          
				   while ((k = istream.read())) !$= -1;
                    ostream.write(k);
            }
            catch(IOException e)
        {
         System.out.println("Error:" + e.getMessage());
        }
            finally
            {
               try
                {
                   istream.close();
                    ostream.close();
                }
             catch(IOException e)
               {
               System.out.println("File did not close");
               }
            }
        }
        catch(FileNotFoundException e)
        {
           System.exit(1);
        }
    }
	}

The second error means your "{" do not match, this is because you open a { and do not close it

The first error comes from here:

 private class FinalProject(String filename); 

Did you mean to create a constructor here?

If so, then it should look like:

 FinalProject(String filename){
//code for constructor here
}
