So here's my code :

public class Shoe {
    String brandName;
    double shoePrice;
    int shoesInStock;

    double totalRevenue;

    public Shoe(String name, double price, int shoesAvailable){
        brandName = name;
        shoePrice = price;
        shoesInStock = shoesAvailable;
    }

    public void shoeSold(){
        totalRevenue = totalRevenue + shoePrice;
        System.out.println("Your new total revenue is " + totalRevenue + "$");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Shoe yeezy = new Shoe("adidas", 75, 10);
        Shoe airforce = new Shoe("nike", 140, 15);

        yeezy.shoeSold();
        airforce.shoeSold();
    }
}

Output :

Your new total revenue is 75.0$
Your new total revenue is 140.0$

Why am I not able to make the totalRevenue variable update and not return to 0 each time, I'm new to java and this was quite an easy task in python I know that java is an oop language but is there no way to make a variable store the value and not return to 0 ? Thanks in advance !

To quickly fix the issue, you can just mark totalRevenue as static. Although your code lacks many basic coding practices that you need to learn and improve your code.

working code:

public class Shoe {
    String brandName;
    double shoePrice;
    int shoesInStock;

    static double totalRevenue;

    public Shoe(String name, double price, int shoesAvailable){
        brandName = name;
        shoePrice = price;
        shoesInStock = shoesAvailable;
    }

    public void shoeSold(){
        totalRevenue = totalRevenue + shoePrice;
        System.out.println("Your new total revenue is " + totalRevenue + "$");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        Shoe yeezy = new Shoe("adidas", 75, 10);
        Shoe airforce = new Shoe("nike", 140, 15);

        yeezy.shoeSold();
        airforce.shoeSold();
    }
}
