Getting an illegal start of expression error

Question

I'm getting an illegal start of expression error for the below code.

this.runTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
this.timeRan = this.runTime - this.startTime;
int XPH = (int)(this.gainedXP * 3600000.0D / timeRan);
long TimeTNL = () (Skills.getXPToNextLevel("Mining") * 3600000.0D / XPH);
if (XPH > 0) {
  this.TNLhours = (TimeTNL / 3600000L);
  TimeTNL -= this.TNLhours * 3600000L;
  this.TNLminutes = (TimeTNL / 60000L);
  TimeTNL -= this.TNLminutes * 60000L;
  this.TNLseconds = (TimeTNL / 1000L);
  TimeTNL -= this.TNLseconds * 1000L;
}

This is the error:

long TimeTNL = () (Skills.getXPToNextLevel("Mining") * 3600000.0D / XPH);
                ^

When I remove the (), I get 100 errors:

100 errors

and my how can i get the RSTile in the script? This is the code in my script import org.tribot.api2007.RSTile; and this is the link https://tribot.org/doc/org/tribot/api2007/types/RSTile.html

And what does the message of the first of these 100 errors say? Fix it, then fix the remaining ones, until you don't have any error anymore. Reading the message is the key. — JB Nizet, Sep 28 '13 at 13:36
Well, the brackets quite simply shouldn't be there. So you really should look at the errors you get when you remove them (which we can't help you with if you don't post them). — Bernhard Barker, Sep 28 '13 at 13:37
`Cannot find symbol : class RSTile` means that the compiler doesn't know about a class named RSTile. Either you misspelled it, or it's not imported, or it's imported but not available in the classpath. — JB Nizet, Sep 28 '13 at 13:41
That's really the same error repeated 100 times at different places. — Bernhard Barker, Sep 28 '13 at 13:46
Yeah i can see that but how can i put the RSTile import in there?import org.tribot.api2007.RSTile; — user2824775, Sep 28 '13 at 13:56

What did you intend to put inside the parentheses? Perhaps you meant to cast to long?

You ought to think about how to convert a double to a long:
