ParserError: Function, variable, struct or modifier declaration expected(Truffle test)

I am currently learning solidity.

I have written the code as it appears in "Hands-On Smart Contract Development With Solidity and Ethereum" (O'Reilly/Japanese edition), but when I run TruffleTest, I get the following error

CompileError: project:/contracts/Fundraiser.sol:9:1: ParserError: Function, variable, struct or modifier declaration expected.

Here is the code.

I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

My library's version

Truffle v5.5.31 (core: 5.5.31)/ Ganache v7.4.3/ Solidity v0.5.16 (solc-js)/ Node v16.15.1/ Web3.js v1.7.4

Here's the linked code:

pragma solidity >0.4.23 <0.7.0;

contract Fundraiser{
    string public name;

    constructor(string memory _name)public{
        name = _name;
}

Count the number of opening braces - and the number of closing braces. You are correctly opening and closing the contract, but the constructor is missing its closing brace.

The solution is simple - close the constructor block with a brace as well.

contract Fundraiser{
    string public name;

    constructor(string memory _name)public{
        name = _name;
    } // closing the constructor here
}
