This is a standard code from trailhead module when  I copy paste on developer console i get an error.

Trailhead Code 
public static void updateOlderAccounts() {
    // Get the 5 oldest accounts
    Account[] oldAccounts = [SELECT Id, Description FROM Account ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC LIMIT 5];
    // loop through them and update the Description field
    for (Account acct : oldAccounts) {
        acct.Description = 'Heritage Account';
   }
   // save the change you made
   update oldAccounts;
}

Hi Akshay,
Follow the below steps
1.Create the class with name "OlderAccountsUtility"
2.Copy the below code insde the class 
public static void updateOlderAccounts() {
    // Get the 5 oldest accounts
    Account[] oldAccounts = [SELECT Id, Description FROM Account ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC LIMIT 5];
    // loop through them and update the Description field
    for (Account acct : oldAccounts) {
        acct.Description = 'Heritage Account';
   }
   // save the change you made
   update oldAccounts;
}

your overall code should look like as below 
public class OlderAccountsUtility {
public static void updateOlderAccounts() 
{
    Account[] oldAccounts = [SELECT Id, Description FROM Account ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC LIMIT 5];

	    // loop through them and update the Description field

	    for (Account acct : oldAccounts) {

	        acct.Description = 'Heritage Account';

	   }

	   // save the change you made
	   update oldAccounts;
}
}

Regards
Jay

hi Akshay Koparde 
you got this error because  you try to write code in direct class body you can not write code in class body in the updateOlderAccounts class create a method and then save it 
public class OlderAccountsUtility {
  // put your code in method  
  public static void updateOlderAccounts() {
    // Get the 5 oldest accounts
    Account[] oldAccounts = [SELECT Id, Description FROM Account ORDER BY CreatedDate ASC LIMIT 5];
    // loop through them and update the Description field
    for (Account acct : oldAccounts) {
        acct.Description = 'Heritage Account';
   }
   // save the change you made
   update oldAccounts;
}
    }

thanks
