I’ve just recently started coding and it says “unexcpected token: void” what’s up with my code? (it’s not finished yet, i’m just trying to run it)

Star[] stars = new Star[100]

void setup() {  
size(400,400);  
for (int i = 0; i \< stars.length; i++) {  
stars[i] = new Star();  
}  
}

void draw() {  
background(0);  
for (int i = 0; i \< stars.length; i++) {  
stars[i].update();  
stars[i].show();

}

}

Also, FYI, when you see an error message like this

> [@noahgabeschaun](#):
>
> “unexcpected token: void”

the program is looking for semi-colon prior to a void function, and can’t find it. Hence the error message.
