Variables in different methods together

  }
  public static void calcSqrt() {

  }
  public static void calcRound() {
     System.out.println(num1 + " ~ " + " = " + (round(num1)));
  }
  public static void calcSin() {
     System.out.println(num1 + " s " + " = " + (sin(num1)));
  }
  public static void calcCos() {
     System.out.println(num1 + " c " + " = " + (cos(num1)));
  }
  public static void calcTan() {
     System.out.println(num1 + " t " + " = " + (tan(num1)));
  }


}

I'm working on a calculator project for school, and need help.This is all my code and it doesn't compile because the variables I'm using to complete the operations are in a different Method. I can't figure out how to make this work looking at others' work.

I changed your class just a little, to do what you wanted. But, that is not the better way to do so.

You will need to read up on passing parameters and accepting arguments. Understanding variable scope is also important to learn. Until then, you can loosely use: What ever variable you declare inside of a set of { and } will be local to that area.

This example might help you understand a little more.

public class Pass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // variables to pass.
        // scope : everything inside of the main method.
        double one = 1.0;
        double two = 2.0;

        for (int a = 0; a < one; a++)
        {
            // scope of a = this for loop

            double three = 3.0; // variable three declared in this loop, scope = this loop.

            Pass.methodOne(one); // passing a parameter (double one) to methodOne.
            Pass.methodTwo(two); // passing a parameter (double two) to methodTwo.
        }

        // a = 2; This will not work because this isn't inside the scope of a.



    }

    static double c; // double c declared in class, scope whole class. 
                     // Note static keyword for access in static methods such as main.

    public static void methodOne(double d) { // accepting a parameter and calling it d

        //double d declared as argument variable, scope = this method.

        c = d; // local variable d is assigned to class variable c.

        System.out.println("The number methodOne received is " + c + ".");
    }

    public static void methodTwo(double d) { // accepting a parameter and calling it d

        c = d; // same c used in methodOne, different d.

        System.out.println("The number methodTwo received is " + c + ".");
    }
}

I agree with Luiggi's commentary wholeheartedly (but don't yet have the points to add to that thread directly).

Try invoking, for example, calcAdd like:

  calcAdd(num1, num2);

and defining it as:

  public static void calcAdd(double num1, double num2) {
     System.out.println(num1 + " + " + num2 + " = " + (num1 + num2));
  }

Verify that this fixes the compilation errors for calcAdd, then make similar fixes for calcSub, etc. It will take a few minutes of typing, but it will be a big step closer.
