Using local declared variables in a different method in Java

Question

I am having a little difficulty with a school assignment, long story short I declared two local variables in a method and I need to access those variables outside the method : <

Answer 1

You can't access local variables from method A in method B. That's why they are local. Take a look: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/variables.html

As such, local variables are only visible to the methods in which they are declared; they are not accessible from the rest of the class.

I recommend to use solution written by @MadProgrammer - create class which contains feet and inches.
