Strange New Expression Error, with regards to Vector3

Hello all. I am running into a strange error when calling new on a Vector3. I am getting the error CS1526: A new expression requires () or [] after type, which usually indicates a missing (), but from what I have seen Vector 3 never requires this. Here is the code in question:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Player : MonoBehaviour {
 
  public float speed = 10.0f;
  public float gravity = 21.0f; //downward force
  public float terminalVelocity = 20.0f; //max downward force
  public float jumpSpeed=6f;
  
  public Vector3 MoveVector {get; set;}
  public float VerticalVelocity {get; set;}
  
  
  void Awake() {
  CharacterController controller=gameObject.GetComponent("CharacterController") as CharacterController; 
  }
  
  void Update() {
  
  //These next three lines lock out the z-axis
  Vector3 pos = transform.position;
       pos.z = 0;
       transform.position = pos;
  
  //Call the functions that control movement
  checkMovement();
  HandleActionInput();
  processMovement();
  }
  
  void checkMovement() {
  float deadZone=0.1f;
  VerticalVelocity = MoveVector.y;
  MoveVector=Vector3.zero;
  if(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")> deadZone || Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")<-deadZone) {
  MoveVector +=new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"),0,0);
  }
  }
  
  void HandleActionInput() {
  if(Input.GetButton("Jump"))
  jump();
  }
  
  void processMovement(){
  //transform move vector into world-space relative to character rotation
  MoveVector = transform.TransformDirection(MoveVector);
  //normalize movevector if magnitude >1
  if(MoveVector.magnitude > 1){
  MoveVector = Vector3.Normalize(MoveVector);
  }
  //multiply moveVector by moveSpeed
  MoveVector *= MoveSpeed;
  //reapply vertical velocity to moveVector.y
  MoveVector = new Vector3(MoveVector.x, VerticalVelocity, MoveVector.z);
  //apply gravity
  applyGravity();
  //move character in world-space
  CharacterController.Move(MoveVector * Time.deltaTime);
  }
 
  void applyGravity(){
  if(MoveVector.y > -TerminalVelocity){
  MoveVector = new Vector3(MoveVector.x, (MoveVector.y – Gravity * Time.deltaTime), MoveVector.z);
  }
  if(CharacterController.isGrounded && MoveVector.y < -1){
  MoveVector = new Vector3(MoveVector.x, (-1), MoveVector.z);
  }
  }
 
  public void jump(){
  if(CharacterController.isGrounded){
  VerticalVelocity = JumpSpeed;
  }
  }
 }
 
 The line in question is in the apply gravity method:
  
 
     MoveVector = new Vector3(MoveVector.x, (MoveVector.y – Gravity * Time.deltaTime), MoveVector.z);

The error message is:

CS1526: A new expression requires () or [] after type

Can someone explain to me why this is happening? Thanks.
