        int lvl = 1;
        double exp = 0;
        int x = 1;
        double monsterhp;
        int monslvl = 1;

            int lvlup = 10 + (lvl * 40);
            if (exp >= lvlup)
            {

            a = 0;
            double monsgen = Math.random () * 10;
            monsgen = Math.round (monsgen);
            String battle = ("battle");


            hpbar = maxhp / hp * 100;
            mpbar = maxmp / mp * 100;


            if (monsgen < 6)
            {


                monsterhp = 90 + (lvl * 10);

                while (battle.equals ("battle"))
                {


                    c.clear ();
                    c.setColor (Color.red);
                    c.fillRect (2, 0, hpbar, 2);
                    c.setColor (Color.blue);
                    c.fillRect (5, 0, mpbar, 2);
                    c.println ("Lvl: " + lvl);
                    c.setColor (Color.green);
                    c.fillRect (0, 5, )
                        c.print ("Your hp: ");
                    c.setTextColor (Color.red);
                    c.print (hp);
                    c.setTextColor (Color.black);
                    c.print ("                   Monster hp: ");

The misplaced construct problem occured at the red line. The string is defined and it should run the loop. Any help is appreciated. thanks

You have a problem with your brackets. After removing some of the code inside the ifs and the whiles, you have something like this:

while () {

} else if () {

}

Which is wrong. Try from the start and this time try to open-close, and then write the code in between.

You need to look again the whole code: This is wrong, as you know

while () {

}
} // this is an extra bracket

This would work:

if () {
  while () {

  }
}

You need to look the code. Better begin with a new class, and start adding slowly code to it from the previous one, and compile regularly in order to find what you added was wrong.

That kind of worked I changed the

while () {
}
} // put in extra bracket then it gives me an error with the else if
// it dissapears if Put in an if now it looks like this

while (){
}
}
if (mosgen > 5){
}

I still get the while error and I need to change the last } to a ; then I fix one of the two error, but the while still causes an error.

Thanks for the help

You need to look again the whole code: This is wrong, as you know
while () {

}
} // this is an extra bracket
This would work:
if () {
  while () {

  }
}
You need to look the code. Better begin with a new class, and start adding slowly code to it from the previous one, and compile regularly in order to find what you added was wrong.

I fixed the error using the new class and copy and paste method. Thanks for the help.
