using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour { 

    public float moveSpeed;

    private Animator anim;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
        
        anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
    {

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update() {
    {
        if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < -0.5f)
        {
            transform.Translate(new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f, 0f));
        }

        if (Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") > 0.5f || Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < -0.5f)
        {
            transform.Translate(new Vector3(0f, Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0f));
        }

        anim.SetFloat("MoveX", Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"));
        anim.SetFloat("MoveY", Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
    }
}

Can’t seem to figure it out, new to this coding thing. the error is
**Severity Code Description Project File Line Column Category Source Suppression State
Error Unexpected symbol `=’ in class, struct, or interface member declaration Solution ‘Project mobile’ ‎(1 project) Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs 12 14 IntelliSense

The error tells you that the = on line 12 is unexpected. Why is it unexpected? Because assignments need to be done inside methods, but that line is just plonked in the middle of the class declaration. I bet you thought it was in the Start() method, didn’t you, but look carefully.

void Start()
{       <------ you need an open bracket here
     anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
 }     <------ and a closing bracket here.
