A and B are local variables in your 'main' method in the JosephusApp
class. They are not visible to your Josephus class. You'll have to
find a way to transfer the values of A and B into Josephus. One way
would be do have instance variables defined in Josephus to hold those
two values and then to pass the values in the constructor call. This
will require you to rearrange the code in your main to call the
constructor after you've read those values in.

A) We speak English here, not gibberish.

B) This isn't a chat room.

C) You seem to be under the impression that a method in one class can
use variables declared in another method in another class.
Unfortunately, current computer hardware does not have internal telepathy.

Grow up, kiddy. Your teenage angst doesn't pass among adults.

Take a piece of advice, and behave like a professional, not a spoiled child
ready to flame anyone who tries to help you.

Examining just snippets, this looks like some racist joke. What is the
Josephus problem?

No. For your refusal to use English. see

Josephus problem?

Josephus was a famous Jewish historian, back when Rome ruled the
'known' world. The story this is based on (uncertain if it's true,
but I doubt it) is that he was also once a Jewish military commander.
When his group became trapped by the Roman legions, they resolved
to all die rather than surrender. The technique alluded to here
was that they selected a number N and counted around the group.
The Nth person was then killed by the others and the count restarted
with the next in line. And so on. Josephus positioned himself
so that he would be last, surrendered to the Romans and began
reporting on the Roman conquests.

When teaching, I used to turn this into the "Howard Hughes Will"
problem (lots of wills out there, once upon a time). These days it
could be the "Anna Nicole Smith Will" problem... You need to put
your versionof the will in the correct spot.
