Beginner Java Student Needs Some Help
I have this snippit
VB Code:
```
for (int i=1; i<=4; i++) {
            for (int j=1; j<=5; j++) {
                g.drawString( dSales[i][j], ((100 * j) + 20), ((15 * i) + 17) );
            }
        }
```
its not working i get:

D:\jdk1.3.1\bin>javac DailySales.java
DailySales.java:70: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method drawString (double,int,int)
location: class java.awt.Graphics
g.drawString( dSales[i][j], ((100 * j) + 20), ((
15 * i) + 17) );
^
1 error

Can I just not draw a double in with drawString? If not how can I convert to string from double?

P.S. The pointer (^) in the compiler is pointing to the dot between g and drawString!

THANKS
NOMAD!

SORRY FOR THE POST, I GOT IT TO WORK!

but an explanation would be nice, I added "" to dSales[i][j] in the drawstring line. Y?!?! does it convert to string cause the ""??? THATS MAJOR RETARDED!

you would have to use something like parseInt to convert the string to an Int, and then cast the int to a double, but i am not sure on the code for that exactly, but that is the principle behind it :)
