    Default GUI - calculate BMI (need help asap)

    Hi all, i need to calculate BMI (take 'weight' and divide by 'height' twice) and show in the Advice textbox with the result. I had added in the NumberFormatException to check for user input but I have problem with the lines after it. Please advise how can I eliminate the error. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.text.*;
     
    public class BMI extends JFrame

    try
    {
    double weight = Double.parseDouble(txtHeight.getText());
    double height = Double.parseDouble(txtWeight.getText());
    } catch (NumberFormatException ex)
    {
    lblAdviceOutput.setText("Invalid input!");
    }
    variable declared in try block has local scope in the block,these variables cannot be accessed outside the try block, so declare them outside try block.

    double weight = 0.0f;
    double height = 0.0f;
     
                try
                {   
                   height = Double.parseDouble(txtHeight.getText());
                   weight= Double.parseDouble(txtWeight.getText());        
                } catch (NumberFormatException ex)
                {
                    lblAdviceOutput.setText("Invalid input!");
                }
    Thanks and Regards
