Java ; expected error

Question

This is the first part of my code:

import acm.program.*;
public class BisectionMethod extends Program {
public void run () {
 double m, y, E, value;
 double a=readDouble("Enter a");
 double b=readDouble("Enter b");
 double f(double x) {
  return value=readDouble("Enter a function using x.");
 }

After compiling, it tells me "; expected" on ( and ) of the line: double f(double x) {

What am I doing wrong? I'm new to java so I'm sorry if there are any other major mistakes. I am trying to use a function, f(x) which I believe is written the way I have shown, but I keep getting the same error.

`return readDouble("Enter a function using x.");` – Manos Nikolaidis Nov 03 '15 at 14:56 — Manos Nikolaidis, Nov 03 '15 at 14:56

You need to take method f outside run method and it will be good.
