Path.cs(7,8): error CS1519: Unexpected symbol 'public' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

Path.cs Code

namespace TreehouseDefense { class Path { private readonly MapLocation[] _path

    public Path(MapLocation[] path)
    {
        _path = path;
    }

    public MapLocation GetLocationAt(int pathStep)
    {
        return (pathStep < _path.Length) ? _path[pathStep] : null;
    }
}

}

Dunno what's wrong. Every time I compile this error message pops up.

It's good to get into the habit of looking above where the compiler indicates an error.

In this case, the issue is that the previous line (where "_path" is declared) is missing the semicolon at the end.
