[FIXED] How do I call a variable in another method

Issue

I want to know how can i access the local variable AverageBodylengths in another methord call jButton4ActionPerformed

private void jButton3ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
    float num3 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField5.getText());
    float num4 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField6.getText());
    float num5 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField7.getText());
    float num6 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField8.getText());
    float num7 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField9.getText());
    float num8 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField10.getText());
    float num9 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField11.getText());
    float num10 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField12.getText());
    float num11 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField13.getText());
    float num12 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField14.getText());

    float AverageBodylengths = (((num3) + (num4) + (num5) + (num6) + (num7) + (num8) + (num9) + (num10) + (num11) + (num12)) / 10);
    jLabel25.setText("" + AverageBodylengths + "mm");
}                                        

private void jButton4ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{

}

Solution

Make the variable global. Your code would look like this:

private float averageBodyLenght;
private void jButton3ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         


    float num3 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField5.getText());
    float num4 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField6.getText());
    float num5 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField7.getText());
    float num6 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField8.getText());
    float num7 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField9.getText());
    float num8 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField10.getText());
    float num9 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField11.getText());
    float num10 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField12.getText());
    float num11 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField13.getText());
    float num12 = Integer.parseInt(jTextField14.getText());

    averageBodylengths = (((num3) + (num4) + (num5) + (num6) + (num7) + (num8) + (num9) + (num10) + (num11) + (num12)) / 10);
    jLabel25.setText("" + AverageBodylengths + "mm");


}                                        

private void jButton4ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {  
    //Do stuff with averageBodyLenght
}
