In Java, is updating instance variable on a class method possible?

Question

for example...

public class MyClass{

public int x = 10;

public void function (){

int x = 11;

// how do I store a new value to the original x?

}

}

Answer 1

u can do this:

public class MyClass{

public int x = 10;         //this value of x will be used in this  

//class except if u give it another value in a block

public void function (){

x = 11;           //local variable.can be used in this block only

}

}

Answer 2

The answer to your question is no, it is not possible. Your example is unrelated to your question. Your example has an instance method dealing with a local variable that superficially resembles the name of an instance variable. The two x variables are unrelated, and neither can influence the other. For your //: Use this.x = 11;
