Need help with program

I'm trying to make an simple applet that changes background according to the temperature that someone inputs. But for some reason, whenever I try to compile it, it is unable to locate the variable c, I've been stumped for a couple days :(-:

Just trying to get the background to be blue when c <= 0, orange when c > 0 && c <100, and red when c >=100

Code:

---

/*
<applet code="TemperatureConversion.class" width="200" height= "200">

</applet>

*/

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class TemperatureConversion extends Applet implements ActionListener{

        Label fl, cl;
        TextField ft, ct;

        public void init(){
       
                setLayout(new GridLayout(2,2));

                fl = new Label("Farenheit");
                cl = new Label("Celsius");
                ft = new TextField(" ");
                ct = new TextField(" ");

                add(fl);
                add(cl);
                add(ft);
                add(ct);

                ft.addActionListener(this);
                ct.addActionListener(this);
               

        }
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){


        TextField temptext = (TextField)ae.getSource();
       

                if(temptext == ft){

                        String temp = ft.getText().trim();

                        int f = Integer.parseInt(temp);

                        int c =(int)((f-32)*(5.0/9));

                        ct.setText(" " + c);
                               
                }else{

                        String temp = ct.getText().trim();

                        int f = Integer.parseInt(temp);

                        int c = (int)((f*(9.0/5)+32));

                        ft.setText(" " + c);
       
                } if(c <=  0){
                        r = 0;                             
                        g = 0;                                       
                        b = 255;
                }else if((c  >  0) && ( c  < 100)){
                        r = 255;                     
                        g = 165;
                        b = 0;
                }else{
                        r = 255;                         
                        g = 0;
                        b = 0;
                }
                setBackgroundColor(r,g,b);
        }
}

Your post is extremely hard to read. I suggest that you get rid of all fancy and unreadable colors and instead post your code using [code] [/code] tags with the [code] tag going above the code block and the [/code] tag going below.

Those variable f and c are local to the if blocks and don't exist outside of them. Move the definition to the top of the method body so they will be visible in the entire body.

kind regards,

Jos
