Scanner variable not found

I actually just started Java...

I am getting an error as :

Bank.java:24: error: cannot find symbol
           sc.nextInt();
           ^
 symbol:   variable sc
  location: class Bank
1 error

and my code is :

import java.util.*;
public  class Bank
{

    public  static void main(String args[])
    {
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Welcome To The Bank Portal");
        System.out.println("1-----Deposit Money\n2-----Withdrawal\n3-----Show Balance\n4----Transfer Money\n5-----Exit");
        System.out.println("Enter Your Choice: ");
        int a=sc.nextInt();

        switch(a)
        {
            case 1: Bank ac;

        }
    }

    public static void ac()
    {
        System.out.println("1-----A/C 123321\n2-----A/C 987789");
        System.out.println("Enter Your Choice: ");
        sc.nextInt();
    }
}

sc is not in scope in the ac method. It's declared in the main method, so it's only in scope in the main method.

To make it available in the ac method, pass it as a parameter:

public static void ac(Scanner sc)

And to call it (e.g. in main)

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); // this you already have
...
ac(sc);

As a side note, I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but the ac method is never called, and Bank ac in that switch statement does nothing.
