    Cool Help with a varibles!

    Hi all,
    I need help in this i have a mail class and a varable called commision( commision is calculated value). i need move this value to another class to print it. but i no have the form.
    Main class code:
    /*
     * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
     * and open the template in the editor.
     */
     
    /**
     *
     * @author Neowolf
     */
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Week2 {
     
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         *
         */
        double link;
        public double showInfo()
        {
               	   return link;
       	}    
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            // TODO code application logic here
            Week2class myWeek2class = new Week2class();//call the class Week2class
            Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);//create the input variable from the Scanner
            int AnnualSales;//declare variables
            int Salary;
            double Commision;
     
            // Validate the input is a integer and a positive value
            do {
            System.out.println("Please enter a Annual Sales");
            while (!input.hasNextInt()) {
                System.out.println("That's not a valid value!");
                input.next(); // this is important!
            }
            AnnualSales = input.nextInt();
        } while (AnnualSales <= 0);
     // Validate the input is a integer and a positive value           
         do {
            System.out.println("Please enter a Salary");
            while (!input.hasNextInt()) {
                System.out.println("That's not a valid value!");
               input.next(); // this is important!
            }
            Salary = input.nextInt();
        } while (Salary <= 0);
                Commision = Salary + (AnnualSales * .08);
                System.out.print(Commision);
                        myWeek2class.displayMessage();
        }
    }

    And the subclass:
    /*
     * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
     * and open the template in the editor.
     */
     
    /**
     *
     * @author Neowolf
     */
    public class Week2class {
      public void displayMessage()
      {
     
        Week2 Commision = new Week2();
       System.out.print("Commision and Salary Total is $");
            System.out.println(Commision.showInfo());   
      }
    }

    What you have coded, you should instantiate the "link" variable in your constructor of the Week2 class. The way you have it set up now, it is just returning a null value because you never assigned link a value.

    Something like this:
    link = <The value your want showInfo to return>;

    non-static variable link cannot be referenced from a static context
    Move the code out of the static method to a non-static method and there will not be a problem.

    Move all the code out of the main() method to the class's constructor. Have the main() method call the constructor.

    Can you find the main() method?
    Can you find the constructor for the class? Add one if needed.
    Select and cut all the code inside of the main() method.
    Paste the code into the constructor.
    Add a call to the constructor in the main() method: new Week2();
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    If you can not answer the questions I asked you need to spend some more time reading the java basics.
    Which of the questions I asked don't you understand?
    Do you know what a method is?
    Can you find the main() method in your code?

    Do you know what a class's constructor is?
    Can you find the constructor in your class?

    I assume you know how to select, cut and paste text.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    how i can create a constructor.
    That is very important to know. All classes have one or more constructors.
    for the moment i understand class
    Go back to your lessons about classes and find where it tells you how to write a constructor for a class.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
