very newbie java question.

[demenion]

Is there a way to make JOptionPane.showInputDialog as a double?

or does it have to be set as a string then parsed as a double?

For example:

String a = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a Number");
double a2 = Double.parseDouble(a);

Sorry, I don't know anything.

 

[notfred]

double a2 = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a Number"));
