I'm having issues with this simple block of Java code. I'm supposed to write an application that displays a JFrame containing the opening sentence from A Christmas Carol. When the user clicks the button, it will display the title of the book that contains the quote in the available JLabel using the setText() method.

However, when I compile, I'm getting errors that an is expected for my line to add the ActionListener for the button. I feel like I'm missing something simple, but I can't place it. Below is my source code. Thanks for any help.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class JBookQuote extends JFrame
 FlowLayout flow = new FlowLayout();
 JLabel msg1 = new JLabel("To begin with,");
 JLabel msg2 = new JLabel("Marley was dead.");
 JButton button = new JButton("Click for source");
 JLabel msg3 = new JLabel();
 String title = "** A Christmas Carol **";
 public JBookQuote() 
 add(msg1);
 add(msg2);
 add(button);
 add(msg3);
 setLayout(flow);
 setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 

 button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
 @Override
 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
 
 msg3.setText(title);
 
);
 public static void main(String args) 
 JBookQuote aFrame = new JBookQuote();
 aFrame.setSize(300, 150);
 aFrame.setVisible(true);
 

your code to add the actionlistener to your button isn't in a function, I think you want it in your constructor.
