right
done all that put it j creator and compiled it test works fine displays 4 but test 2 cannot find the int1 variable something is going wrong with the extension ?

[Cew27]

w00000000t it worked !!!!!!!!
ill look over it again and tell you what the problem was

[Cew27]

i think it is either 2 things
the static int i didn't do that or because i put the
public static void main(String[] args){
before assigning a value to the variable
also just to refresh my memory what is a static variable, saves me breaking out my big book

(a) order of statements should not matter
(b) a static variable is common to all class instances. You cannot use anything other than static vars in your main cos it is static. Otherwise you can do:

package com.google.stuff;
public class Test{
int int1 = 2, int2 = 2;
public static void main(String[] args){
Test test=new Test();

System.out.println(test.int1 + test.int2);
}
}


package com.google.stuff;
public class Test2 extends Test{
int int2 = 3;
public static void main(String[] args){
Test2 test=new Test2();
System.out.println(test.int1 + test.int2);
}
}
