Syntax error on token "void", record expectedJava(1610612940)

Time:10-19

I am trying to make a program that would translate english into pig latin. I have written my code however i keep getting the error "Syntax error on token "void", record expectedJava(1610612940)".

import java.util.Scanner;

public static void main(String[] args) {

    public String pigLatin(String word){
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        String userin = input.nextLine();
        int InLength = userin.length();
        String firstletter = userin.substring(0, 1);
        if(firstletter.matches(".*[bdgnrs].*"))
        {
            System.out.println("yes");
        }
        input.close();
        return firstletter;
    }
}  

Thank you.

First, you need a class to put in you main() method

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Mytest {
     
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    
     pigLatin("baby");
        
  }
  public static String pigLatin(String word){
    
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      String userin = input.nextLine();
      int InLength = userin.length();
      String firstletter = userin.substring(0, 1);

      if(firstletter.matches(".*[bdgnrs].*")){
           System.out.println("yes");
       }

      input.close();
      return firstletter;
      }
    }   

With this your code is calling your pigLatin method, but I don't know if code inside is working as you expect

Regards,
