I'm trying to create a BMI-calculator with Java using GUI, but I recieve an syntaxerror

Question

I'm trying to program an BMI calculator, but for some reason I can't get it to work. I'm quite a noob at Java so please be considerate :). Names of classes and variables are in Swedish, but aren't that hard to understand. eg langd is length and vikt is weight.

This is my code:

package prog2;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;

import javax.swing.*;

public class BMI extends JFrame{
JTextField langdfalt;
JTextField viktfalt;
DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat ("0.00");
JLabel resultat;
BMI(){
    super("BMI Kalkylator 1.0");
    setLayout(new FlowLayout());
    JLabel langd = new JLabel ("Längd (m):");
    add(langd);
    langdfalt = new JTextField(4);
    add(langdfalt);
    JLabel vikt = new JLabel ("Vikt (kg):");
    add(vikt);
    viktfalt = new JTextField(4);
    add(viktfalt);
    JButton berakna = new JButton ("Beräkna");
    berakna.addActionListener(new BeraknaLyss());
    add(berakna);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    setSize(330, 100);
    setVisible(true);
    setLocation(820, 400);
    JLabel bmiVisning = new JLabel("Ditt BMI-värde är");
    add (bmiVisning);
    JLabel resultat = new JLabel ("");
    add (resultat);

}

class BeraknaLyss implements ActionListener{    
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ave){
        double vikt = Double.parseDouble(viktfalt.getText());
        double langd = Double.parseDouble(langdfalt.getText());
        int bmi = (int)beraknaBMI(vikt, langd);
        **resultat.setText(String.valueOf(bmi));**
}   
}
public double beraknaBMI(double vikt, double langd){
    return vikt / (langd * langd);
}


public static void main(String[] args) {
    new BMI();

}

}

And the error I'm getting is NullPointerException at row 43 which I bolded.

Here is the all the error code:

You're shadowing the variable resultat . Replace

JLabel resultat = new JLabel("");

with

resultat = new JLabel();
