Can a local variable be used out of a method?

Question

I\'ve got stuck in a problem about local variables.

The following is not my original code but I use a simple example to present my question:

import java.         


        

Answer 1

    public static void main(String[] args) 
   {
        Scanner userScan=new Scanner(System.in);    
        int input1;
        do{
            input1=userScan.nextInt();
        }while(input1>10);
    }

just declare input1 outside of the scope of do while loop
