Challenge: Reference and Local Variables

Read the problem statement carefully and solve the challenge by defining the reference and local variables in the right place.

We'll cover the following

Problem statement

  • Declare a local private int type variable, name it mySecretNumber, assign it a value of 10, and declare it outside the functions.

  • Inside the displaySecret function, reassign the value of 45 to mySecretNumber.

  • Create a reference variable of RLVariables and name it secret. Access the instance variable (mySecretNumber) using reference variable secret with the following line:

    • Reference variable accessing instance variable: (print the reference variable here)
  • Now print the local variable on the new line:

    • Local Variable: (print the local variable here)
  • Assign the local variable value to the instance variable of the reference variable and print the following on the new line:

    • Reference variable accessing instance variable that points to the local variable: (print the reference variable here)
