Really really basic Obj-C question about passing instance variables

Question

Hi sorry about such a dumb question I am changing a variable value depending on the index of a segmented control but then want to use this variable in a calculation that follows; am sure this has something to do with variable scoping?

- (IBAction)calculate:(UIButton *)button {
if( [sSeg selectedSegmentIndex]==1){
    float  s=0.5;
    NSLog(@"s=%f", s);
}
else if ([sSeg selectedSegmentIndex]==0)
{
    float s=1; 
    NSLog(@"s=%f", s);
}
NSLog(@”s now = %f”, s);

}

Help much appreciated!

- (IBAction)calculate:(UIButton *)button {
    float s = 0;
    if( [sSeg selectedSegmentIndex]==1){
        s=0.5;
        NSLog(@"s=%f", s);
    }
    else if ([sSeg selectedSegmentIndex]==0)
    {
        s=1; 
        NSLog(@"s=%f", s);
    }
    NSLog(@”s now = %f”, s);

}

Yeah, its the scope - a variable is only visible inside your curly brackets.
