Thread: Just a simple one for a newbie!!

I want to call a value from another class but not sure how:

class Angle{
double angleStart;

public Angle(){
angleStart = 0;

Where the value is 0 i want to call in a value entered earlier in the program i gues u use a get command?

Hi,
You just need to create a class with main method and use this code

Angle angle=new Angle();
System.out.println(angle.angleStart);

Thanks for the reply but its not called angle earlier in the programme - i want to call in the value from something else and store it as the new value for angle - is that possible??

Rule is "if u want to call any member of any class then u have to create an object of that class then u can call that variable or method".

Sorry I am not able to understand your problem properly. can u be more specific for your requirement.

i used a value in a variable earlier in the programme called tempPosition and the outputted it - i now want to reuse the original value to do another calculation...sorry im not very good at explaining

i now want to reuse the original value

Where did you save the original value? If you assign a new value to a variable, the original value is gone.
Or if the variable is defined locally to a method, when the method exits all its local variables go away.

You also know that sometimes you can use methods that are static without having to instantiate an object right?

A bad approach without having the real need and use of static to use static.

Also, scones73: Why don't you read about getters and setters (accessors and mutators) to accomplish your job?
