I have a simple problem that I've been stuck on for some time and I can't quite find the answer to. Basically, I'm creating an object and trying to access the variables without using static variables as I was told that is the wrong way to do it. Here is some example code of the problem. I receive an error in the first class that can not be resolved to a variable. What I would like to be able to do is access t.name
in other methods outside of the main, but also in other classes as well. To get around this previously I would use Test2.name
and make the variable static in the Test2
class, and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's the wrong way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated =)
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Test2 t = new Test2("Joe");
}
public void displayName() {
System.out.println("Name2: " + t.name);
}
}
public class Test2 {
String name;
public Test2 (String nm) {
name = nm;
}
}
