Error while creating TABLE in database

I am using oracle 10g ex to learn so here is my code

CREATE TABLE MINE 
(
    NAME VARCHAR(10),
    ID INT(3) PRIMARY KEY 
);

and my error is

ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.

but I don't where I missed the right parenthesis. There is any other chance or something I have to know to solve this issue.

The int datatype doesn't take a size argument:

CREATE TABLE MINE 
(
    NAME VARCHAR(10),
    ID INT PRIMARY KEY -- Here!
);

INT does not need a size - it is an alias for NUMBER(38).

CREATE TABLE MINE 
(
    NAME VARCHAR(10),
    ID   INT PRIMARY KEY 
);

However, what you probably want is to use VARCHAR2 and NUMBER types:

CREATE TABLE MINE 
(
    NAME VARCHAR2(10),
    ID   NUMBER(3,0) PRIMARY KEY 
);

And now is the time to get into good habits - you probably also want to name your constraints:

CREATE TABLE MINE 
(
    NAME VARCHAR2(10),
    ID   NUMBER(3,0) CONSTRAINT mine__id__pk PRIMARY KEY 
);
