To start off I understand the concept of private and public variables (at least I think that I do).
My question is:
When you change the value of a variable in a class (in my example an "if statement"), once I close the class (or if statement) with an } is there anyway to allow the rest of my program to see the new value of the variable?
What I would like to do is use the result of my if statement in further calculations. I realize I could put the rest of my calculations right into the if statement; however this requires twice as much code.
Example below:
double st = 10
double ha;
if ((st/4) < 0){
double ha = st/4+180; // =182.5
println ("Hour Angle (Deg): " + ha); // prints 182.5
}else{
double ha = st/4-180; // =-177.5
println ("Hour Angle (Deg): " + ha); //prints -177.5
}
println ("Hour Angle (Deg): " + ha); //prints 0 (How can I get this to print the value given to the variable within the IF statement?)
