DeclarationError: Undeclared identifier. _exists(_tokenId), | ^^^^^^^

I'm new to smart contracts. I'm learning some stuff through youtube and trying to compile in remix.

the below is my smart contract

101 | _exists(_tokenId),
| ^^^^^^^

there is no _exist method in your contract.
you can use _ownerOf method in ERC721.sol.
ex:
require ( _ownerOf(_tokenId) != address(0), "No existed Token ID")
