Answer 1

I have this variable called i in fuction1 how can i
acces it in fuction2You can not access a local variable (i.e., a variable declared inside a method) from any method other than the one it is declared in.
     public int function1(){
     int i=50;
          return i;
     public int function2(){
     Excercise_2 ad=new Excercise_2();
          int e=ad.function1();
          System.out.println(e);
          return e;
This code did not work do I have to use the main
method.The code does not appear to be trying to access the variable i declared in function1 from function2. I don't see how this demostrates your problem (or you have not properly explained your problem). When you say "This code did not work" what do you mean? Did it compile? Did it run? What did it do? What were you expecting it to do?
Can you post a complete but short example that can be compiled and executed to demonstrate the problem you are having?
