Class syntax error - baffling

Heya!
So, I'm having some trouble with an array of a class in a project I'm working on.
The class is called choice.
Here's the relevant code:
In variable declarations:
- choice[] choices = new choice[9];
in setup() :
- for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
- choices[i] = new choice(i+1);
- }
The class itself:
- class choice {
- String[] option = new String[4]; //4 options per choice
- int[] optionIndex = new int[4];
- int workNum = 0, optionType = 0;
- choice(int tempNum) {
- option[0] = "";
- option[1] = "";
- option[2] = "";
- option[3] = "";
- workNum = tempNum;
- }
- }
(there's a lot more to the class code, but I removed it and still had the same problem so I've left that code out)
That's the only code that references the class.
When I try to run the sketch, I get the following error:
- Syntax error, maybe missing a right parenthesis?
- expecting RPAREN, found ';'
- processing.app.SketchException: Syntax error, maybe a missing right parenthesis?
- at processing.mode.java.JavaBuild.preprocess(JavaBuild.java:314)

- at processing.mode.java.JavaEditor$20.run(JavaEditor.java:481)
- at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680)
For the life of me, I can't figure out where it's expecting to find a right parenthesis. I've made the class entirely empty and created only 1 instance (not an array) of it, and I still get the same error. It highlights the final curly bracket of the choice class when it presents the error message.
Through the use of error checkers, I have confirmed that it runs setup() until the for loop I posted, at which point it hits the missing right parenthesis error.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I'd be happy to post more code if you think it is necessary, but I don't know how it would be relevant. It's probably just some silly oversight I'm making.
Thanks so very much!!!
