<identifier> expected error java

Hi guys, I have this code and when I try to compile and run it gives me an <identifier> expected error.

The code with the irrelevant parts taken out.



package ACCOUNT;



import java.util.Scanner;

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

import javax.swing.*;



class Bank{



static private double bal;   //Account balance

static int withdraw;      //amount of times withdrawn 



static void setBal(double amount){bal = amount;}

static double getBal(){return bal;}



public static void main(String[] args){

//code

}



class Charge extends Bank{

  

double fee = Bank.withdraw * 0.10;

double tempbal = Bank.getBal();

double amount = tempbal - fee ;

Bank.setBal(amount);

    }

when I run it points to the line Bank.setBal(amount) and says <identifier> expected

can someone help?

Re: <identifier> expected error java

I tried removing the private part from the variable declaration. removed the method to access the balance, since it was no longer needed and could just be accessed from the subclass using bank.bal. but it still gives me the identifier error on the line I access the bal from in the subclass
