using variables in multiple methods

[cagipple]

I have three methods:

method 1 gets an integer from the user and stores it in int x.

method 2 gets another integer from the user and stores it in int y.

method 3 performs the equation x * y and returns the value.

How can I get the values of x and y into method 3 so it can do the equation?

I believe you would have to create a separate method for x and y then call that method x,y() in the main method

You can do this two ways, either have the methods return an int,

System.out.println(method3(method1(), method2()));

Or you can have instance variables which the first two methods set, and the third method creates.
