These functions are giving me an error, asking for a semicolon, but when I add it, it doesn’t fix the error.  
\<\>  
int arrayTotal(int array[]) {  
int total= 0;  
for (int i= 0; i\<array.length; i++) {  
total+=array[i];  
}  
return total;  
}

void setXandYCoords(Die dice[]) {  
for (int i= 0; i\<dice.length; i++) {  
int x= (dice.length/2)-i;  
x\*=-1;  
dice[i].setCoords(SCREEN\_WIDTH+(x\*(dice[i].getDieFace().width+(dice[i].getDieFace().width/2))),(SCREEN\_HEIGHT/2)-(dice[i].getDieFace().height/2));  
}  
return null;  
}  
}

When processing tells you that you have a missing semicolon where you clearly doesn’t, it generally means that you have something like a missing bracket.

In your case, you’re missing a ‘)’ in this line. I believe you should add it after the ~.getDieFace().width/2

I tried that, and it is still giving me an error. Also, for arrayTotal function, it is still giving me an error. Any thoughts?  
`int arrayTotal(int array[]) { int total= 0; for (int i= 0; i<array.length; i++) { total+=array[i]; } return total; }`

I guess the error is somewhere else

please post entire code

```auto
int arrayTotal( int array[] ) { 
   int total= 0; 
   for (int i= 0; i<array.length; i++) { 
        total+=array[i]; 
   } 
   return total; 
}

```

**In general:**

You have a class Die

In this line, you are referring 3 times to the dice[i]. (apart from the initial one).  
This calls for making the line a function (method) within the class:

```auto
void setCoordsForScreen() {
   setCoords(
       SCREEN_WIDTH+(x*(getDieFace().width+(getDieFace().width/2))), 
       (SCREEN_HEIGHT/2)-(getDieFace().height/2)
     ); 
}

```
