Question error CS1002: ; expected | Simple Error however i cant find it.

I copied this piece of code to mess around with procedural generation however i cant find the flaw in the code. It should run unless im too stupid to even copy code correctly. Help would be much appreciated!
Assets\MeshGenerator.cs(27,18): error CS1002: ; expected

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. [RequireComponent(typeof(MeshFilter))]
6. public class MeshGenerator : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     Mesh mesh;
9.  
10.     Vector3[] vertices;
11.     int[] triangles;
12.  
13.     public int xSize = 20;
14.     public int zSize = 20;
15.  
16.     void Start()
17.     {
18.         mesh = new Mesh();
19.         GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh = mesh;
20.  
21.         CreateShape();
22.         UpdateMesh();
23.     }
24.  
25.     void CreateShape()
26.     {
27.         vertices new Vector3[(xSize + 1) * (zSize + 1)];
28.  
29.         for (int i = 0, z = 0; z <= zSize; z++)
30.         {
31.             for (int x = 0; x <= xSize; x++)
32.             {
33.                 vertices[i] = new Vector3(x, 0, z);
34.                 i++;
35.             }
36.  
37.         }
38.     }

46.  
47.         mesh.RecalculateNormals();
48.     }

50.     private void OnDrawGizmos()
51.     {
52.         if (vertices == null)
53.             return;

You are missing an equal sign at line 27.

Code (CSharp):

1. vertices = new Vector3[(xSize + 1) * (zSize + 1)];

As someone who spends most of his time with procedural generation, i cannot really recommend it to beginners. It's probably one of the hardest topics in game development in general, and definitely the hardest way concerning world / map generation. Of course, if it interrests you i'm not telling you to do something else.
But if this kind of problem can still hold you back i'd focus on getting the basics down before diving into more complex topics.

 

thanks! yeah ill probably try some more simple stuff, it was just really intriguing for me
