c# basic out of scope problem

[noisebomb44]

So i have run into this really basic problem, but i cant see anything wrong with it, i declare a few arrays in public, and then when i try to acces them again i cant, and instead get the "out of scope error" (excact error: The name "blabla" doesnt excist in the current context)

public static void scoreCreate()
        {

            int[] test = new int[9];
            test[0] = 0;
			//etc

            string[] name = new string[9];
            name[0] = "noname";
			//etc

            updateScores()

        }
static void updateScores()
{
		if (5 > test[0])
            {
				etc
			}
}

Ignore any normal misstakes i made, i remade my code to make it easier to read

BTW im using console in visual studio

It's because the array test doesn't exist in the global scope. Instead , you just declared it inside the scoreCreate() function. You can either make it a global variable or pass it via the argument list to the updateScores() function , which would be pretty much unnecessary. Just make it a global variable.

Something like this :

int *test;
void scoreCreate()
{
test = new int[9];
/*
rest of the code here
*/
updateScores();
}
void updateScores()
{
/*
code here
/*
test[0]
/*
code here
*/
}

Not sure what i did wrong, but 

 

int test;
public static void scoreCreate()

int[] test = new int[9];
test[0] = 1

static void updateScores()
{
 if (5 > test[0])

}
}

(i simplified it a little bit more)

Doesnt work, still the out of scope error

 

Im guessing the "int *test;" was a misstake, since adding the " * " only made it worse, and gave me this error: "Pointers and fixed size buffers may only be used in an unsafe context"

Well yes , I was writing in C++ , my bad. I'm just used to writing everything in C++ and forgot this was about C#. Anyway, I think it would be like this :

int[] test = new int[9];
public static void scoreCreate()
        {
            test[0] = 0;
			//etc

            string[] name = new string[9];
            name[0] = "noname";
			//etc

            updateScores()

        }
static void updateScores()
{
		if (5 > test[0])
            {
				etc
			}
}

Didnt work, BUT, i found the answer on annother site, by using classes

 

working code (even simpler example this time):

		public static class GlobalValues
        {
            public static int testvalue = 1;

        }

        public static void test()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("numer " + GlobalValues.testvalue);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

 

Thanks for all the help though!
