Vector3 not an identifier?

Question

I am trying to write a function that finds a point on a Bezier curve. I need it to output a vector 3 co ordinate however it keeps giving me an error saying "identifier expected". Isnt the first phrase "Vector3" the identifier here!? heres a screenshot of some of the errors :/ alt text

     //function to find point on curve
     Vector3 curveEquation(p0 : Vector3, p1 : Vector3, p2 : Vector3, p3 : Vector3, t : float)
     private Vector3 p4;
     private Vector3 p5;
     private Vector3 p6;
     private Vector3 p7;
     private Vector3 p8;
     private Vector3 p9;
     {
         
         p4 = Vector3.Lerp(p0,p1,t);
         p5 = Vector3.Lerp(p1,p2,t);
         p6 = Vector3.Lerp(p2,p3,t);
         p7 = Vector3.Lerp(p4,p5,t);
         p8 = Vector3.Lerp(p5,p6,t);
         p9 = Vector3.Lerp(p7,p8,t);
 
         return p9;
     }
 }

1) you are mixing C# syntax with UnityScript syntax

 Vector3 curveEquation(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float  t)
 //not
 Vector3 curveEquation(p0 : Vector3, p1 : Vector3, p2 : Vector3, p3 : Vector3, t : float)

2) you cannot declare fields between a function declaration and that function's body { }

 private Vector3 p4; // <- a field, accessible in the whole class
 Vector3 curveEquation(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float t)
 {
     Vector2 p5 // <- a local vector only accessible in this method 
     // your method stuff
 }
 // not
 Vector3 curveEquation(Vector3 p0, Vector3 p1, Vector3 p2, Vector3 p3, float t)
 private Vector3 p4;
 {
     // your method stuff
 }
