You cannot put an expression outside a function. Only the variable declarations can be placed outside functions (and those variables are called globals/global variables).

Try the following:

float x=10; float y=50; float z;


void setup() 
 // put your setup code here, to run once:
 z=x*y;


void loop() 
 // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

  You can put an expression outside a function (e.g. float z=x*y; does have an expression x*y in it, and may appear in namespace scope). What you can't put there is an expression statement (or any other type of statements).
