Issue while initializing a variable

Question

just started programming and my adventure with Java today. I did some exercises from Project Euler, unfortunately at third I hit a wall. Can someone explain me why variable called "czynnikx" isn't initialized, even though I did that in line 4?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You have not initialized your variable, only declared it. You need to actually set it to a value somewhere: czynnickx = 323432543455465L; .

You are trying to assign a value to 'czynnik' that has never been initialized.
