expecting a semi-colon, found 'exampleVaribleName'

Question

Salute,

I'm new to Apex development, today, when I developing an Apex Trigger on a Custom Object I meet following error:

Code:

trigger TestTrigger on CustomObjectBlah__c (before insert) {
	Set exampleVaribleName = new Set();
}

When I click save, I got this error: expecting a semi-colon, found 'exampleVaribleName'

There is a ; on the first statement, why this error?

Thank you very much.
