Hi! I'm new to Java using eclipse kepler. I am following a video tutorial and i followed all the syntax correctly but eclipse says "temp temp cannot be resolve to a variable"

My question is: Is it a syntax error or an eclipse version problem?
Glad to have your comments. Thanks.

package Day.examples;

public class ExampleArray {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

int []x = {10,20,30,40,50};
System.out.println(x[0]+" "+x[3]);

for (int temp : x);
{System.out.println(temp);}

}
}

Hi,

This is a Java error: you have a semicolon (;) right after the declaration of your for loop.

As a result, the ; is evaluated as an empty statement and is seen as the body of your loop. Meanwhile, your print statement is considered to be outside of the loop and thus cannot access the temp variable.

This is better seen when the code is formatted as follows:

package Day.examples;

public class ExampleArray {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        int[] x = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };
        System.out.println(x[0] + " " + x[3]);

        for (int temp : x)
            ;
        {
            System.out.println(temp);
        }
    }
}

Hi sir. Thank you very much for your response. I've followed your instruction and I am still having the same error message. I found the problem by accident in the JRE system library that I am using. The default should be C:\Program files\Java\jdk 1.8.0.221 instead of C:\Program files\Java\jre 1.8.0.231. I remember that I installed java jre 1.80.231 and eclipse switch automatically to the new system library. So, when i switch back to the original library which is java JDK, it works fine.

package Day.examples;

public class ExampleArray {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

int []x = {10,20,30,40,50};
System.out.println(x[0]+" "+x[3]);
for (int temp : x){
System.out.println(temp);
}

}
}
