    text
    copied!<p>For my program I have a static class which uses a Boolean statement. I would like to use this variable in my main in the instance of the user winning or losing the game. </p> <p>However if I try to reference the variable it says it can not be found. </p> <p>Here is a fraction of my code</p> <pre><code> boolean playerWin; Dice.playerWin = false; </code></pre> <p>is there any reason why the symbol can not be found?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <pre><code> class Dice { static NumberFormat fmt = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(); public static String playRound(double playerBet) { boolean playerWin; double amountWon = 0; if(playerWin = false) { Wallet.playerBalance -= playerBet; amountWon = 0; return fmt.format(amountWon); } else { Wallet.playerBalance *= 2; amountWon = 1d/2d * Wallet.playerBalance; return fmt.format(amountWon); } } </code></pre> <p>and in the main class</p> <pre><code> public class Game { public static void main(String[] args) { String playerName; int playerBet; Dice die = new Dice(); System.out.print("How much would you like to bet? "); while(playerBet != -1 &amp;&amp; playerBet &gt; 0) { playerDie.roll(); playerDie2.roll(); computerDie.roll(); computerDie2.roll(); if(computerDie.equals(computerDie2)); { System.out.print("Sorry you lost"); Dice.playerWin = false; } System.out.println(); System.out.print("How much would you like to bet on this round? "); playerBet = in.nextInt(); </code></pre> <p>The variable is in a static class and it is being used in the main method, what am I doing wrong? </p> <p>Hopefully this extra bit helps.</p>
