scope error not making sense

i following error in sketch (its first).

error: 'currentvalue' not declared in scope in function 'void loop()':
@ global scope:



here sketch in entirety (reads accelerometer data , puts on serial display (16x2)
its not done yet , needs other polishing...plus there no rush arduino's backordered @ sparkfun:

code: [select]

long highvalue=0.0;
long currentvalue=0.0;

void setup()
{
 serial.begin(9600);
 backlighton();
 displaywelcome();
}

//in order 1.11 style output 2 ints required
// 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 (pin)
// \ \ \ \ \ \ \ | / / / / / / / (semi analog)
// 0 . 1 2 c u r | 0 . 1 3 h      
void loop()
{  
 currentvalue=0.0;
 int firstpart=0;
 int secondpart=0;
 currentvalue = getaccelvalue();
 //split prettyfied output
 firstpart = (int)(currentvalue);
 secondpart = (int)(currentvalue * 100); //nothing expected beat 1g
 
 selectlineone();
 delay(100);
 barchart(currentvalue);
 selectlinetwo();
 delay(100);
 serial.print(firstpart);
 delay(100);
 serial.print(".");
 delay(100);
 serial.print(secondpart);
 delay(100);
 serial.print("cur/hi");
 delay(100);
 
 value=(getmaxvalue(currentvalue));
 firstpart = (int)(currentvalue);
 secondpart = (int)(currentvalue * 100); //nothing expected beat 1g
 serial.print(firstpart);
 serial.print(".");
 serial.print(secondpart);
 delay(300);
 clearlcd();
}

void displaywelcome(){
  selectlineone();
  serial.print("danger the");
  delay(100);
  selectlinetwo();
  delay(100);
  serial.print("manifold!!!");
}

float getaccelvalue(){
  return (random(1));
}

float getmaxvalue(currentvalue){
if (currentvalue > highvalue){
  highvalue=currentvalue;
}
return (highvalue);
}

void barchart(currentvalue) {//makes simple bar chart on top line
 
}

void selectlineone(){  //puts cursor @ line 0 char 0.
  serial.print(0xfe, byte);   //command flag
  serial.print(128, byte);    //position
}
void selectlinetwo(){  //puts cursor @ line 0 char 0.
 serial.print(0xfe, byte);   //command flag
 serial.print(192, byte);    //position
}

void clearlcd(){
 serial.print(0xfe, byte);   //command flag
 serial.print(0x01, byte);   //clear command.
}
void backlighton(){  //turns on backlight
 serial.print(0x7c, byte);   //command flag backlight stuff
 serial.print(157, byte);    //light level.
}
void backlightoff(){  //turns off backlight
 serial.print(0x7c, byte);   //command flag backlight stuff
 serial.print(128, byte);     //light level off.
}
void sercommand(){   //a general function call command flag issuing other commands  
 serial.print(0xfe, byte);
}


probably because declare currentvalue (long) integer, assign floating point value in couple of places.
