class - Java "VariableDeclaratorId expected after this token" -

i'm working on little project fun, that's little combat emulator. i'm trying use class similar struct in c++, in using create object (in case, character or "entity", class called). i'm getting error in title when attempting call integer in said class main function.

class entity{     public int health;     public int accuracy;     public int power;     public int defense; } 

and

public class tutorial {     static random rnd = new random();     entity player;     player.health = 100;  // issue on health part     player.accuracy = 19; // issue on accuracy part     player.power = 15;    // issue on power part     player.defense = 18;  // think now... 

i've been looking around while find explanation, there's none find explain nature of error possible fixes situation. if those, wonderful.

the compiler expecting variable declaration on line

player.health = 100;  

but finding assignment instead. statements

entity player = new entity(); player.health = 100;  player.accuracy = 19;  player.power = 15;  player.defense = 18;  

should in code block such method or constructor rather class block
