I was trying the following code on my IntelJ

package com.Global2020;

import java.awt.\*;  
import java.util.Date;

public class Main {

```
public static void main(String[] args) {

```

Point point1 = new Point(x: 1, y: 2);  
Point point2 = point1;  
point1.x = 3;  
point1.y = 5;  
System.out.println(point2);  
}  
}

I have got the following error;

java: ‘)’ expected

* * *

It drives me crazy because, I can not see my mistake. If you please can help me that will be great.

Hi and welcome.

Please put code in [code fences](https://forum.codewithmosh.com/t/code-formatting-and-syntax-highlighting/186/3) so it’s properly formatted.

In Java you don’t type the parameter names when calling constructors or methods. So instead of `new Point(x: 1, y: 2);` type `new Point(1, 2);`
