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?
