Java, output string, getting correct output? HELP!

[computerboyo]

Hi, I have this piece of code;

resultText.setText("Sorry the number is " + WHAT GOES HERE HELP!);
                    finishGame();
                    break;
                case 1:
                    //won
                    resultText.setText("Well done it is " + playerNumber);
                    finishGame();
                    break;
                case 2:
                    resultText.setText("higher");
                    break;
                case 3:
                    resultText.setText("lower");
                    break;

And I want to display the output entered from this class;

public TestGame(int maxValue, int maxNumberOfGuesses) {
        super(maxValue, maxNumberOfGuesses);
 
        //ask user for guess number
        String numberString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Please input guess number:");
        //save it
        guessNumber = Integer.parseInt(numberString);

I know the user enters the number into "guessNumber" but please can someone tell me how I can display that number in another class, the one shown above? The bit that says "WHAT GOES HERE HELP!".

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Since I don't see all of your code, not sure if this will work:
instantiate the class at the beginning at classB ... example:

myClassA mca = new myClassA();

then use use the the following:

mca.guessNumber

Not sure if your variable has to be declared global or not.

EDIT: this code is not a very good example.... the one in the my below post is a little better.

A couple comments...

• You didn't fare very well over at the Sun forums (lesson learned: don't cross post)

• what you want to do is not as easy as it seems...

I'll try to explain....
you have two classes: Class A and Class B.
I think what you want to do is pass a variable value from class A so it can be used in class B... correct? Please make sure that this is what you want to do: can this be done in Class A with a mehtod?
You can't first run classA and then run class B for this to work. What has to happen is that you have to call the method that's in class B (from Class A) that needs that variable from Class A (sounds like "Who's on first?").

in Class A:

String varToSend ="Hello !!!";
ClassB cb = new ClassB(); //instantiate class B in class A
cb.heresTheVariable(varToSend);//call the class B method

in Class B:

public void heresTheVariable(String varFromClassA)
{
  System.out.println("The variable form class A: " + varFromClassA);
}

Now in this example, I'm not returning anything from the class B method, so the example is not useful... it just shows how things flow (if i didn't goof anything up).

Luck,
