How to reassign a variable in Java

Question

Let’s say I have this in python
l =[1,3,2,4,5]
sums = []
Restart = 0
For i in l:
If i == 4: # restart
sums.append(restart)
restart = 0
else:
restart += i

How would you do a code like this in Java, my intent is to know how restart = 0 in the if statement will work. When I do that in Java it says the variable already exists
Please help

Answer 1

int restart = 0; //restart is now 0

restart = 1; //reassign restart to 1

Is that what you want?

If you declare a variable and you are declaring again then you will get error. So you don't need to redeclare same variable, you just need to reasign value.

For example:

int restart = 0;

So if you want to reasign a value to this variable then just do this:

restart = 1;

If you do ( int restart = 1 ) again then you will definitely get an error.

Answer 3

Oh yeah i just realized that in my actual code, i want to reassign the variable to an empty list, so thats what giving me error.
