			give.totalPlay();
		}
	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"total play is "+give.totalPlay()+"\ntotal win is"+win+"\ntotal lose is"+lose);
}

}

i get an error said that cannot find symbol
symbol : variable give
what's wrong with my code?
pls help!
tq.

The problem is you declare 'give' inside this while loop while(quit !=-1) but then this loop ends at the '}' after give.totalPlay(); , so that the 'give' variable goes out of scope and at this statment JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"total play is "+give.totalPlay()+"\ntotal win is"+win+"\ntotal lose is"+lose); the compiler cannot find a declaration for give.

Move the declaration for give outside of the while loop so that it doesn't fall out scope before you want to reference to it.

i solved it already!..
i create another constructor in d class and declare another statement outside the loop..
thanks for helping me..

>i create another constructor in d class and declare another statement outside the loop..

Are you creating another instance of 'fermi', I am not sure how that helps, but anyways if it solves your query, just mark the thread as solved.
