Error CS1519: Invalid token 'void' in class, record, struct, or interface member declaration. I have tried searching for an answer to no avail

Here’s my code:

public class Door : Interactable
{
    [SerializeField]
    private GameObject

    //this function is where we will design our interation using code
    protected override void Interact() {
        Debug.Log("Interacted with " + gameObject.name);
    }
}

Here is the error:

Assets\Scripts\Interactables\Door.cs(11,5): error CS1585: Member modifier 'protected' must precede the member type and name

So basically, the error code is on the line if protected override void Interact() {
Previously, it was on the void public() { line, then i deleted that, so it moved to the void update() { line, which I then proceeded to delete as well. It’s very peculiar because if I delete the protected, then the error would move to the override, then to the void, but never at the same time; it would only show an error to the latest word.

I have found other threads with similar errors (pretty much exact same Error CS1519) but different lines of code, each with different fixes. I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong with mine? I tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2022, and so I’m currently in Safe Mode trying to fix this error. I just followed instructions from a YouTube tutorial on interactables, and this appeared out of nowhere as I was fixing some UI stuff.

as andrew pointed out in the comment , your GameObject field has no name assigned to , add a name and a semicolon to it and it should work.
