pentagonal program
































I have to write a program that displays the first 100 pentagonal numbers using different methods. This is what I have so far:
































public class FivePointOne{































public static void main(String[]args){































System.out.println("The the pentagonal numbers are: ");































}































//this method will find the penagonal numbers































public static int getPentagonalNumber(int n){































for(int i = 0; i < 100 ; i++){































if(valueOfEquation(i) % 5 == 0)
































}































//return n;































}































//This method will calculate the numerator































public static int getNumerator(int n){































int N = (n*((3*n)-1));































return N;































}































//This method defines the denominator































public static int getDenominator(int n){































final int d = 2;































return d;































}































//This method will calcualte the equation































public static int valueOfEquation(int n){































int value = getNumerator(N) / getDenominator(d) ;































return value;































}
































}
































But when I compile it to test it out I receive the error message "Illegal start of expression," ';' expected, and "reach end of file while parsing". Can anyone explain to me what is going on and how to fix it so?
