Yet another not working thingy mabob
publicclass inttest{
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args)
{
int days;
days = 1000;
days();
}
publicstaticvoid days(){
System.out.println("There is now "+days+" left.");
}
}
All help appreciated with why this isn't working. By the way, this is the error: inttest.java:12: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable days
location:class inttest
System.out.println("There is now "+days+" left.");

days is local to the main() method. Other methods can't see it. Read the section in this article about variable scope.

Both of these will work.
public class Test
{
int days;
public static void main(String args[])
{
days = 1000;
printDays();
}
public static void printDays()
{
System.out.println(days);
}
}
/* - */
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int days = 1000;
printDays(days);
}
public static void printDays(int numDays)
{
System.out.println(numDays);
}
}
Umm, ok thanks. Anymore suggestions? Morgan, your first one did not work. Thanks though.

For the first example, days needs to be made static, because you're accessing it from within static methods.

Is 300 good? I want to see that.

Yes, and it wasn't helpful much...

Yes, it's out here as well. It was some sort of a joke, sorry.
; )
I must be honest: liked South Park's parody better than the trailer of [the movie] 300.

That's where sarcasm tags come in. ;-)

I have to be honest, I'm not a huge South Park fan. I prefer The Family Guy over South Park. You should really see 300 when it comes out on dvd (or blu-ray!).
> Better than Citizen Kane?...I wasn't alive in 1941.
> > > Is 300 good? I want to see that.> > > > It's probably the best movie I've ever seen.> > Better than Citizen Kane?Probably not. But if we're talking about classics: 12 Angry Men is IMO far better!
> > Better than Citizen Kane?> > ...I wasn't alive in 1941.True, but where you alive in 480 BC? :-)
> > > Better than Citizen Kane?> > > > ...I wasn't alive in 1941.> > True, but where you alive in 480 BC? :-)No, but I was alive in 2007 when the movie was made. ;-)
