Java Method Help

-----------------------------------

Hey everybody, I need help with some programming code in Java, any assistance would be welcome, this is what is troubling me I want to put a piece code from a method into a different method. For example : 
import java.util.Scanner;
public static void Input {
   
  Scanner read = new Scanner (System.in);
  String getInput;
  System.out.println("What is your name?");
  getInput= read.nextLine();
}

public static void Output  {
// show the getInput value HERE
}

Is it possible for it happen ?

Thanks, 
Shah

Send the variables as parameters to the function.

[code]
public static void Output (String output) { 
  System.out.println(output)
}
[/code]

and then call it

[code]
Output("hello")
[/code]

I'm still a bit of confused, I'm trying to get the value of getInput from the Input Method  appear in the Output method , and than from that I can call the method Output into the main method.
