from your screen shot what I can get is you are not running this on execute annonymous. becuase  developer consloe you window has name thiskey.apxc. above code work find in execute annonymous .

if this is a  Class you cant have code after closing parethersis  so remove line 11 and 12

try this 
  
public class thisexample {
public integer age=10;
    public thisexample(integer age)
    {

        this.age=age;

System.debug('the value of age is '+age);    
}
}
thisexample t1=new thisexample(22);
system.debug('Age:'+t1.age);

sir thank you very much. it is working now..   Sir please tell me what is the difference between annonymous execution and class execution.  
surasura
execute anonymous is used to execute your logic (eg: by calling methods in classes) while classes are used to define the logic . if issue is solved please mark this as sloved by marking the best answere
