please @ //consolidate section. i'm trying is, consolidate acct1 , acct2 1 new account, restrictions acct1 , acct2 has has same name, acct1 , acct2 account number has different each other, , if met, create new account new balance 2 old account, keep same name , randomly generate new account number. there missing in code? wont compile. these errors got

      account.java:95: ')' expected                 {newaccount= new account(acct1.getbalance()+acct2.getbalance(),string owner);                                                                                      ^     account.java:95: illegal start of expression                 {newaccount= new account(acct1.getbalance()+acct2.getbalance(),string owner);                                                                                            ^
