How to get parameter's value in a return method from another method?

Question

My int dice in MovePath() method needs to get the value of int step in GetRollDice() method.

I'm using Java.

How should I do that?

public static int getRollDice(){
   int[] diceStep= {-2,-1,1,2,3};            
   int randomStep = new Random().nextInt(diceStep.length); 
   int step = diceStep[randomStep];
   return step;
}

public static int MovePath(Integer dice,Integer path){
  // int dice = step value from GetRollDice      
  //Get Initial Path
  //Next path = roll dice value + initial path


    return path;

}

Are we supposed to guess the programming language your are using ? If so, if think it is some Java, am I right ? — dkg, Nov 24 '15 at 17:19

You just have to call your method, no need to redeclare dice :

public static int MovePath(Integer dice,Integer path){
    dice = getRollDice();     
    //Get Initial Path
    //Next path = roll dice value + initial path

    return path;
}

Keep in mind that everything in Java is a reference to an Object... everything but primitive types like int, short, etc...
