OK, i'm trying to teach myself Java with Roger Cadenhead's 'Teach
yourself java in 24 hours- thats 24 1-hour sessions, for me , not
overnight. I can't seem to find the error. Here's the program, HELP-

class BigDebt {
        public static void main(String[] arguments) {
                int debt = 446000000;
                debt = debt / 1440;
                System.out.println(" minute's worth of debt is $" + debt);
        }
}

What did i do? I can't find a syntax error.

determined, but disappointed,
