Problem with Objects

[javadam]

I'm learning Java, which is my first programming language. I've been teaching myself using the Blue Pelican pdf, and I've caught on a bit of a snag. I'm doing my own variation of one of the projects suggested in the book, and I'm stuck. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the code for my Tester class

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Tester
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        System.out.print("What is the name of the client? ");
        String cn = keyboard.next();
        System.out.print("What is the starting balance of the account? ");
        int startBalance = keyboard.nextInt();
        bank bank1 = new bank(cn, startBalance)
        System.out.println("The client's name is " + cn + " and the current balance is " + startBalance);
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println();
        
        for (int status = 0; status <= 99; status++)
        {
        System.out.println("Would you like to:");
        System.out.println("1:    Make a deposit?");
        System.out.println("2:    Make a withdrawal?");
        System.out.println("3:    Check your current balance?");
        System.out.println("4:    Exit?");
        int choice = keyboard.nextInt();
        
        switch (choice)
        {
            case 1: 
            System.out.println();
            System.out.print("What is the amount of your deposit? ");
            int depositIn = keyboard.nextInt();
            bank1.deposit(depositIn);
            break;
            
            case 2:
            System.out.println();
            System.out.print("What is the amount of your withdrawal? ");
            int withdrawal = keyboard.nextInt();
            bank1.withdraw(withdrawal);
            break;
            
            case 3:
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("Your current balance is " + bank1.bankBalance);
            break;
            
            case 4:
            status = 99;
            break;
            
            default:
            System.out.println("Illegal Operation");
        
        }
    }
}
}

And here is the code for my Bank class.

public class bank
{

    public bank(String name, int b)
    {
        int bankBalance = b;
        String clientName = name;
        
    }
    
    public void deposit(int depAmount)
    {
       
        bankBalance = bankBalance + depAmount;
    }
    
    public void withdraw(int withAmount)
    {
        bankBalance = bankBalance - withAmount;
 
    }
    
    public int bankBalance;
}

I know it is not the most elegant code, but here is my problem... the bankBalance used in my bank1 object is not affected by my startBalance integer. What is the problem with my code? Thanks for your help!

Have a look at your constructor. You have declared a local variable with the same name.

[Fubarable]

You are re-declaring the bankBalance variable inside the Bank constructor, which is "shadowing" the variable declared in the class. The solution is not to redeclare it in the constructor. So, not this:

int bankBalance = b;

but this:

bankBalance = b;

edit: as Junky states above! :)

[javadam]

It works! Thanks, I appreciate it!

[Junky]

Of course it works. Did you ever doubt us? ;)
