here, there are two functions in branchpredictor class namely predictor and trainer.

what i have pointed out is that predictor is working fine but trainer is not updating the variables of the above class.
is it that only first function can access the variables.

if not, can any one point out the possible reason.
it will be of great help.

branchpredictor is called at line 329 and
trainer is called at line 282 of main function.

if u don't want to look at the code then kindly clear my above doubt in bold.

I can't make any sense of your undocumented code, but in general:
There is no restriction in Java anything like "only first function can access the variables."
Methods can share variables that are defined at class level, but not any variables that are declared within a method. If you declare a variable within a method that has the same name as a class variable then there is no compiler error, but it's very confusing.
