Thread: error in declaration of try statement.

please help me to remove the error coming with thy and catch statement in 8 and 17 line

import java.io.*;

class UserThread extends Thread
{
static int a[]=new int[10];
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
try
{
System.out.println("User thread started");
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
System.out.println("Enter "+(i+1)+" value");
a[i]=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
}
}
catch(InterruptedException e)
{
System.out.println("Tread is about to interrupt");
}
}
class InterruptTest
{
public static void main(String s[])
{
UserThread th=new UserThread();
th.start();

System.out.println("main thread is about to sleep");
try
{
sleep(20000);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
th.interrupt();
int sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
{
sum+=UserThread.a[i];
}
System.out.println("Sum= "+sum);
}
}

Please, please, please use code tags.

The try/catch clause in class UserThread exists outside a method. Whaddya thinkin'?

Edward,
Your program has so many syntax errors.
First of all you did not wrap your thread code in the run() method? I don't see run().
Secondly you cannot catch InterruptedException when it is not thrown. Instead you may have to catch IOException.
Can you please fix that and let us know if the problem still persists.
Lastly, as a guideline it is always better to indent the code so that we know easily where a block starts and ends.

Thanks,
Syed.
