Convert String to double in Java

Question

How can I convert a string such as "12.34" to a double in Java?

Answer 1

You can try Double.parseDouble() to change a String into a double:

String text = "12.34"; // example String

double value = Double.parseDouble(text);

For your situation it seems like you require:

double total = Double.parseDouble(jlbTotal.getText());

double price = Double.parseDouble(jlbPrice.getText());
