java

[Goeman Stefan <Stefan.Goeman@siemens.atea.be>]

Hello,


I know, this is not really a question about Debian.

The question is actually very simple. I want to convert a 
string to a double.

There is a method in the java.lang.Double named 
 parseDouble

When I insert a line like 
double d = Double.parseDouble(x);
in my program, I get the error:
Method parseDouble(java.lang.String) not found in class java.lang.Double


There is also another method in the java.lang.Double class that should do
the same,
i.e. method valueOf

Now, when I insert a line like
double d = Double.valueOf(x);
in the program, i get the error:
Incompatible type for declaration. Can't convert java.lang.Double to double.

in the program, 
(Casting does not solve this problem)


Does anybody know what is going wrong??


Greetings,

Stefan.
