    Question Creating a new object from an ArrayList of objects

    I have pasted my code below. I am attempting to create an Invoice object from an object stored in an ArrayList. I get the error message "not a statement" and "; expected" on line 61: Invoice newInvoice = new Invoice(clientList.get(count));

    Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.util.ArrayList;

    public class InvoiceDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    // VARIABLES ----------------------------------------------------
    int number, id, hours, clientID, count;
    String name, address;


    // --------------------------------------------------------------
    // Create scanner
    Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);

    // Create arraylist to hold client objects
    ArrayList<Client> clientList = new ArrayList<Client>();

    // Prompt user for selection - loop until valid input is received
    System.out.println("Please make a selection [1 - Add Client / 2 - Create Invoice / 3 - Quit]: ");
    number = keyboard.nextInt();

    // Prompt user for selection
    while (number != 3) {

    // If user selects 1, create a client
    if (number == 1) {
    // Get user input
    System.out.print("Please enter the client's name: ");
    keyboard.nextLine();
    name = keyboard.nextLine();
    System.out.print("Please enter the client's address: ");
    address = keyboard.nextLine();
    System.out.print("Please enter the client's numerical ID: ");
    id = keyboard.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Please enter the number of hours worked: ");
    hours = keyboard.nextInt();

    // Create client object
    clientList.add(new Client(name, address, id, hours));
    }

    // If user selects 2, create an invoice for the given client id
    else if (number == 2) {

    System.out.print("Please enter the client's numerical ID: ");
    clientID = keyboard.nextInt();

    for (count = 0; count < clientList.size(); count++ ) {

    if ((clientList.get(count).getID()) == clientID)
    Invoice newInvoice = new Invoice(clientList.get(count));
    }

    }

    // Prompt user for selection
    System.out.println("\nPlease make a selection [1 - Add Client / 2 - Create Invoice / 3 - Quit]: ");
    number = keyboard.nextInt();

    }
    }
    }

    Default Re: Creating a new object from an ArrayList of objects

    You are missing the open bracket { for the if statement, just before the line 61.
