Using local declared variables in a different method in Java

Question

I am having a little difficulty with a school assignment, long story short I declared two local variables in a method and I need to access those variables outside the method : <

Answer 1

You need to create a shared variable that holds your result or you encapsulate the result in a single object and then return to caller method, it may be class like result

public class Result {
  public final int resultFeet;
  public final int resultInches;

  public Result(int resultFeet, int resultInches) {
    this.resultFeet = resultFeet;
    this.resultInches = resultInches;
  }
}

Now, you make a result,

public Result convertHeightToFeetInches(String input){

    int height = Integer.parseInt(input); 
    int resultFeet = height / IN_PER_FOOT;
    int resultInches = height % IN_PER_FOOT;
    Math.floor(resultInches);
    return new Result(resultFeet, resultInches);
}

Use this result in other function to print result.

    Result result = convertHeightToFeetInches();
    System.out.println("Height: " + result.resultFeet + " feet " + result.resultInches + " inches")
