The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Error message: local variable is access from within inner class

Asked by shogun5 in New to Java Programming

Hello Experts,
I am trying to make a simple flashcard java program for my Kids to review school vocbulary. I am new to Java and am stuck with the error message noted in the title.

Please see code included. I am trying to read from a questions.txt file and populate an array with the questions in the .txt file. I think I got that working fine. The concern I have is how to get the array values to display on a jtextfield or jlabel when mybutton is pressed.

Any ideas. Not sure how to get the inner class to recognized the values in the array. I am writing this for their upcoming quiz so need this soon.
