The code you just posted works perfectly when I compile it. Perhaps you fixed the problem when you copied it into this post, or perhaps the problem is elsewhere?

What you have asked for is very trivial. It would be best if you'd read the DM Guide rather than bother to ask this question. The reason for this being that in the future you'll get even more confused about some other trivial things, and will bother us by posting with lots of unnecessary questions that would be answered if you had taken the time to read the guide in the first place. So read it, and don't skim. You'll learn a lot more.
