Getting code to get EEPROM number

Stuck again...
I've tried this code, and variations. Mostly get the message
"'f' was not declared in this scope"

  {
    EEPROM.get(0, f); 
  if(0){
  digitalWrite(controlPin1, LOW);        
  digitalWrite(controlPin2, LOW);  
    lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
    lcd.print("Prg.STOP");
    Serial.println("Programmed Stop Activated ⛔");
      delay(1000);
  }
}

I also have this in Void Setup

float f = 0.00f;   //Variable to store data read from EEPROM.
  int eeAddress = 0; //EEPROM address to start reading from

  
  Serial.begin(9600);    // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:


    EEPROM.get(eeAddress, f);
  Serial.println(f, 3);    //This may print 'ovf, nan' if the data inside the EEPROM is not a valid float.

Feels like im missing something small and "easy"....
