Question

I’d like some help with something please.

Theres probably some incredibly easy solution to this but when I try to declare a value within if or try tags, and i try to call them from outside, I just get the error ‘the name ‘x’ does not exist in the current context’

Any suggestions? Here’s an example of what i mean

try {
    bleh = 5; }

x = bleh

Declare your variables outside your try blocks. Declaring a variable allows you to assign it, but it is only accessible within scope. This is a fundamental concept in programming languages and should should read the article linked above.

int bleh;
if (somevalue == 0)
{
bleh = 5;
}
else if (somevalue == 1)
{
bleh = 2;
}

x = bleh
