Context

I am trying to concatenate the number of characters that was printed at the back of the shirt in a system out print. A variable "int printedLetters = 0;" has been declared to keep count of the letters being printed.

Yet

When I try to print the number of characters that were printed at the back of the shirt using this code: System.out.println("Chiefs Printed letters: " + printedTextChiefs.length); I get an error ("printedTextChiefs") is underlined because "it cannot be resolved to a variable". I need to retrieve the number of letters that were printed on the shirt can someone please help me with the JAVA code, thanks!
