Parser Error?

Hey, i was just trying out unity making a FPS survival type thing, and looked at some stuff and managed to complete the code, but i still have one error.

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

var damage : int = 50;
var distance : float;

function Update () {

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {

    var hit : RaycastHit;
    if (Physics.Raycast (transform.position, transform.transformDirection(Vector3.forward), hit )) {

        distance = hit.distance;
        hit.transform.SendMessage("Apply Damage", damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReciever);

    }

}

}

the error is on the first var statement

var damage : int = 50;
