Yeah. You have your brackets in the wrong place.

public class PayrollProgram3
{

public static void main(String[] args) {

}
}

That's two open brackets and two closed brackets. Since the brackets match, you have no code in your main method, and no code in your class.

public class PayrollProgram3

}
}

That's two open brackets and two closed brackets. Since the brackets match, you have no code in your main method, and no code in your class.

So the two brackets go in at the end of the code?

The brackets tell you what code belongs to what method.

public class Whatever{
}

^ Anything between the brackets in bold is code inside of the class.

public class Whatever{

public void main(String[] args){

}
}

^Anything inside the brackets in bold is code that belongs to the main method. (So when you run the main method, the code between those brackets gets executed).
