Thread: Help with ints

I declared a public int in one class, modified it in that class, then tried to call it in another class, but when I call it, none of the modifications that were made carry over.

The variable:

public int dmg = 5;

Where it is modified:

case 1: 
						if (gold >= 2){
						dmg += 10;
						gold -= 2;
						out.println("Thank you. Have a nice day!");
						}
						else{
							out.println("You are too poor.");
						}
						decision = 0;
						break;

What this is doing is buying a weapon, then adding to the dmg int.

Where it is being called:

static town city = new town();
public int dmg(){
	return dmg;
 
 
 
case 1: 
				wolf1hp -= city.dmg();
				out.println("You have dealt " + city.dmg() + " damage." );
				if (wolf1hp <= 0){
					out.println(" You killed the first wolf.");
				}
				playerhealth -= wolf2dmg;
				out.println("Wolf 2 attacked you and you lost " + wolf2dmg + ". You now have " + playerhealth + " health.");
				decision = 0;
				break;

this is a simple battle scenario, and when i run it, instead of saying 15 damage it just says 5.

Can you post the program's output that shows what you are talking about?
Try debugging the code by adding some println() statements to print out the value of the variable every time it is changed and used.

The formatting of the posted code has too much indentation making it hard to read.

Try debugging the code by adding some println() statements to print out the value of the variable every time it is changed and used.
The print out should show you where the value changes from 25 to 5.

Copy the printouts that show each change to the dmg variable and each time that same variable was referenced. There should be a line where the value made an unexpected change.
