16,291 PointsWhen you're declaring a variable you don't use parenthesis and curly brackets those are for methods. You were close:
public class PictureBook{
public String mTitle; //This is a variable you close it with a semi-colon
}

public class PictureBook{
public String mTitle(){ //method
}
}
He states member variable named mTitle and make it public like this:
public class PictureBook {
public String mTitle; //member variable
}

14,864 PointsEvery statement that ends with parentheses is a method. that code that you have written is a method that returns a string and I don't think that what you want. The way to do it right is like Derek Markman wrote. In order to distinguish local variables and global variables it is a good practice to prefix the local variable with the char 'm'.
