You have not defined a method around your code.

import java.io.*;

public class details
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("What is your name?");
        String name = in.readLine(); ;
        System.out.println("Hello " + name);
    }
}

In this case, I have assumed that you want your code to be executed in the main method of the class. It is, of course, possible that this code goes in any other method.

You also will have to catch or throw the IOException  See below  Not always the best way  but it will get you a result   public class details       public static void main  String   args  throws IOException           BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader System in            System out println  What is your name             String name   in readLine              System out println  Hello     name

only variable object declaration statement are written outside of method  public class details      public static void main String arg             BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader System in            System out println  What is your name             String name   in readLine              System out println  Hello     name             here is example try to learn java book and see the syntax then try to develop the program

You must to wrap your following code into a block  Either method or static    BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader System in    System out println  What is your name     String name   in readLine      System out println  Hello     name     Without a block you can only declare variables and more than that assign them a value in single statement    For method main   will be best choice for now   public class details       public static void main String   args           BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader System in            System out println  What is your name             String name   in readLine              System out println  Hello     name             or If you want to use static block then     public class details       static           BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader System in            System out println  What is your name             String name   in readLine              System out println  Hello     name             or if you want to build another method then    public class details       public static void main String   args           myMethod              private static void myMethod            BufferedReader in   new BufferedReader new InputStreamReader System in            System out println  What is your name             String name   in readLine              System out println  Hello     name             Also worry about exception due to BufferedReader
