Can a local variable be used out of a method?

Question

I\'ve got stuck in a problem about local variables.

The following is not my original code but I use a simple example to present my question:

import java.         


        

Answer 1

The problem is with your input1 variable scope i.e., the scope of your input1 variable is limited to do while block (i.e., { } code), so just declare the variable outside the loop.

int input1 = 0;//scope is now wider, not just limited to the loop
do {
   input1=userScan.nextInt();
} while(input1>10);
