Expecting member declaration when I use if in Android Studio

I've started learning Android. I can't use if in Kotlin because I saw this error Expecting member declaration can you help me ??

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    }

    var fixedIncome : Int = 50
    var tips : Int = 20
    var income : Int = fixedIncome + tips

    if(tips == 0){
        Log.d("tag", "You have not recieved any tips today")
    } else {
        Log.d("tag", "You have recieved some tips today")
    }
}

you can't write:

if(tips == 0){
    Log.d("tag", "You have not recieved any tips today")
}else{
    Log.d("tag", "You have recieved some tips today")
}

outside the scope of a method. You're outside the onCreate method, you're essentially writing this in the class of MainActivity, so change this to:

var fixedIncome : Int = 50
var tips : Int = 20
var income : Int = fixedIncome + tips

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    if(tips == 0){
    Log.d("tag", "You have not recieved any tips today")
    }else{
    Log.d("tag", "You have recieved some tips today")
    }
}

OR, initialize and use everything in onCreate:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

    var fixedIncome : Int = 50
    var tips : Int = 20
    var income : Int = fixedIncome + tips

    if(tips == 0){
    Log.d("tag", "You have not recieved any tips today")
    }else{
    Log.d("tag", "You have recieved some tips today")
  }

 }

As a side note:

because you're doing var tips : Int = 20 and never changing tips, you might consider using val tips : Int = 20 to indicate that it is a value, not a variable.
