Your variable-declaration statements do not need to lie before all other statements. Accordingly, most programmers prefer to declare each variable close to its first use, as in the following example:
public class Demonstrate { public static void main (String argv[]) { int result, script = 6; result = script; int acting = 9; result = result + acting; int direction = 8; result = result + direction; System.out.print("The rating of the movie is "); System.out.println(result); } }
