Can anybody tell me why I keep getting this error?

Asig02_Attempt2.java:37: <identifier> expected
public void sincronizarCanal(canal)

Am I mixing a class with a method? This is just a small program that simulates a TV. I'm trying to pass a number (chanel) to a method that tells the user that they are now watching chanel (whatever number I passed)...

import java.util.Scanner;

class Televisor
{
	int	canales,
		volumen,
		canal,
		vol;
			
			
	public Televisor()
	{
		canales = 5;
		volumen = 10;
	}
	
	public void encender()
	{
		System.out.println("Televisor Encendido.");
	}
	
	public void apagar()
	{
		System.out.println("Televisor Apagado. Adios...");
	}
	
	public void sincronizarCanal(canal)
	{
	  System.out.println("El canal ha sido sincronizado al canal" + canal);
	}
	
	public void ajustarVolumen()
	{
	  System.out.println("El volumen ha sido ajustado.");
	}
}

public class Asig02_Attempt2
{
	public static void main(String arguments[]) 
	{ 
	             Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in ); 
	
	             Televisor myTVSet = new Televisor();
	
		myTVSet.encender();
	
		System.out.print("Sincronizar al canal --> ");
		myTVSet.canales = input.nextInt();
		myTVSet.sincronizarCanal(myTVSet.canales);
	
		System.out.print("\n");
	
		System.out.print("Ajustar el volumen a --> ");
		myTVSet.volumen = input.nextInt();
		myTVSet.ajustarVolumen();
	
		myTVSet.apagar();
	}
}

You are not telling the compiler what type "canal" is. I am guessing that "canal" is an integer, but you don't specify this:

public void sincronizarCanal(canal)

If canal is an integer, you should change it to this:

public void sincronizarCanal(int canal)

However, this also won't work since you have a data member CALLED "canal". If it is the data member "canal" you are intending here, then don't pass the function anything, like this:

public void sincronizarCanal()

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do. It looks like you ARE trying to pass the function something. If so, if it is an integer, which appears to me to be your intent, I would rename it to some other name that is not the name of a data member, and place an "int" in front of that variable name, like this:

public void sincronizarCanal(int someIntegerName)

well, now I feel dumb... :-D I should have known that! Thanks a lot!!

I think the error is with the order of your declaration:
It is "public static void" . Also I don't believe that you spelled synchronize correctly. Also check some tutorials as where you need to place it when declaring a method
