If statements in methods

Anonymous User 1541 13-Nov-2013

I have a variable set in C# that changes depending on which If statement is selected.

But when I try to Console.WriteLine, it tells me the variable does not exist in the current context, could someone help me with this please?

public void mood()
{
  var unhappiness = Hunger + Boredom;
  if (unhappiness < 5)
  {
    string m = "Happy";
  }
  if (unhappiness <= 5 && unhappiness <= 10)
  {
    string m = "Okay";
  }
  if (unhappiness <= 11 && unhappiness <= 15)
  {
    string m = "Frustrated";
  }
  if (unhappiness <= 16)
  {
    string m = "Mad";
  }
  Console.WriteLine(m);
}

Hi Ankit,

You can try this:

public void mood()
{
    var unhappiness =
Hunger + Boredom;
    string m =
string.Empty;
    if (unhappiness
< 5)
    {
        m =
"Happy";
    }
    if (unhappiness
>= 6 && unhappiness <= 10)
    {
        m =
"Okay";
    }
    if (unhappiness
>= 11 && unhappiness <= 15)
    {
        m =
"Frustrated";
    }
    if (unhappiness
>= 16)
    {
        m =
"Mad";
    }
   
Console.WriteLine(m);
}

The problem was that m was defined inside an if statement, it scope was limited to that statement.
