constructor basic question

[786snow]

public class HelloWorldApp1 {
  
   
	//delaring constructor
	public HelloWorldApp1()
	{
		 int grade1=7;
		 


	}
....

Hi, if I have a constructor in my programe now how can I access the value of grade1.
When in my method if I do System.out.print(grade1); i get error

could you do it like this

public class HelloWorldApp1 {

private int grade1;

//delaring constructor
public HelloWorldApp1()
{
grade1=7;



}

public void printstuff() {
System.out.print(grade1);
}
}
