Getting error in node

I am new to MEAN and interested in self learning node.js and express.js. I have installed npm and related modules but on running my code I am getting an error message which I cannot understand.

My code is as under:

var express = require('express');
var app express();
var myPort = 1117;

app.set('port', myPort);



app.get('/',

  function(req, res)
  {
    res.send(<h1>This is express!</h1>); 
    console.log("Express started at port no " + myPort);
  }

)

app.listen(myPort);

The name of file is prj.js When is give command node prj.js The error displayed is as under:

G:\JavaPrgsJGD\Nodejs_My\prgs>node prj.js
G:\JavaPrgsJGD\Nodejs_My\prgs\prj.js:2
var app express();
    ^^^^^^^

var app express(); is not valid JavaScript. You meant var app = express();.
