Can someone please help me to understand how to declare an instance variable? The books I've been reading have not been very helpful with what I am assuming they think is an easy concept so it is left out.

Instance Variables
A instance variable is a variable, which you can use throughout all the (not class) methods. You just write private first (you can write public, but that's not so good programming), then the type and finally the name. This:
Write this at the top of the class:
I hope this helps.
private int instanceVariable;
public Class AClass
{
//instance variables here
//other code here
}
You really should review the Java trails; especially the ones on 'Getting Started' and 'Learning the Java Language'. They are listed in the second section (called 'Trails Covering the Basics') on the left at this site.
