Hi, i have a variable - weatherValue that is in my WeatherInput class and i need to use the value of weatherValue in my BeeWorld class (my world class). How would i go about this? This is the code to set the value of weatherValue in the WeatherInput class:

 weatherValue = Integer.parseInt(Greenfoot.ask("Please input a value for the weather"));

Please provide codes in BeeWorld class.

this is the code relating to the weather value

public class BeeWorld extends World
{
    //declare variables
    Flower PinkFlower;
    BeeInput beeValue;
    StartButton StartButton;
    WeatherInput WeatherInput;
    WeatherInput weatherValue;

and this is where i need im using it

    
    public void runSimulation()
    {
         int weatherValue = WeatherInput.weatherValue;

         if(weatherValue >= -40 || weatherValue <= 15)
         {
             //if the weather value is between -40 and 15 then the low temp simulation will run
             lowTemperature();
         } else if(weatherValue >= 16 || weatherValue <= 27)
         {
             //if the weather value is between 16 and 27 then the regular temp simulation will run
             regularTemperature();
         } else if(weatherValue >= 28 || weatherValue <= 40)
         {
             //if the weather value is between 28 and 40 then the high temp simulation will run
             highTemperature();
         }     
    }

Your fields (which I am not sure all are needed) in your BeeWorld class should be like this:

Flower pinkFlower;
BeeInput beeValue;
StartButton startButton;
WeatherInput weatherInput;
// WeatherInput weatherValue;

The last line was commented out as its value is contained in weatherInput (in the WeatherInput object) and can be obtained by using "weatherInput.weatherValue".

When i remove line 5. it then displays an error which is this: ava.lang.NullPointerException at BeeWorld.runSimulation(BeeWorld.java:52) at BeeWorld.<init>(BeeWorld.java:47) at StartButton.act(StartButton.java:26)

I do not see where you are creating a WeatherInput object:

weatherInput = new WeatherInput();

ive added this and it does not seem to be taking into account what i set the weather value at, as it is only running lowTemperature()

    public void runSimulation()
    {
         WeatherInput = new WeatherInput();
         int weatherValue = WeatherInput.weatherValue;

         if(weatherValue >= -40 || weatherValue <= 15)
         {
             //if the weather value is between -40 and 15 then the low temp simulation will run
             lowTemperature();
         } else if(weatherValue >= 16 || weatherValue <= 27)
         {
             //if the weather value is between 16 and 27 then the regular temp simulation will run
             regularTemperature();
         } else if(weatherValue >= 28 || weatherValue <= 40)
         {
             //if the weather value is between 28 and 40 then the high temp simulation will run
             highTemperature();
         }

Please provide WeatherInput class codes. It appears that you may have misplaced a line or two.

Don't you still need to add the WeatherInput object into the world and then run the simulation and click on it so that you can change its value?

the weather input is in the MainMenu world i have, its at the start thats where you enter the value and then after you have entered it, you hit the start button and it goes to the BeeWorld world. This is my MainMenu class:

public class MainMenu extends World
{
    //declare variables
    ErrorMessageWeather ErrorMessageWeather;
    StartButton StartButton;
    WeatherInput WeatherInput;
    HelpButton HelpButton;

    /**
     * Constructor for objects of class mainMenu.
     * 
     */
    public MainMenu()
    {    
        // Create the main menu
        super(864, 540, 1);
        Greenfoot.start();
        setBackground(new GreenfootImage("MainMenu.png"));
        
        //add the help button
        HelpButton HelpButton = new HelpButton ();
        addObject (HelpButton, getWidth (), getHeight ()); 
        HelpButton.setLocation(100,190);       
        
        //add start button to main menu
        StartButton StartButton = new StartButton ();
        addObject (StartButton, getWidth (), getHeight ()); 
        StartButton.setLocation(150,350);
        
        //add weather input box to main menu
        WeatherInput WeatherInput = new WeatherInput ();
        addObject (WeatherInput, getWidth (), getHeight ()); 
        WeatherInput.setLocation(400,250);
    }
}

the weather input is in the MainMenu world i have]

But that is not being passed to the other world.

how would i do that? i thought because i assigned it in the WeatherInput class it didnt matter?

 weatherValue = Integer.parseInt(Greenfoot.ask("Please input a value for the weather"));
