add/get double to vector

Hello,
I'm having troubles using Vectors. Basically, I am being forced to use Vectors as a way of storing a list of doubles.

i want to be able to do the following:

Code:

---

Vector myVector = new Vector();
double mydouble = 0.5;
myVector.add(mydouble);

---

But apparently this won't work because Vectors store Object, and ?doubles are not objects?

So I do this:

Code:

---

myVector.add(new Double(mydouble))

---

But if I do this, how do I later retrieve the double's from the Vector?

I want to say:

Code:

---

newdouble = myVector(0);//assuming that mydouble was stored at index 0

---

But that doesn't work

Please help!

If you are not able to use generics (version < 1.5), then you need to cast from an Object to a Double...

Code:

---

Double newdouble = (Double)myVector(0);//assuming that mydouble was stored at index 0

---

That should work.

Thanks for that

I think I will try to find some other type of data structure for this though, as Vectors seem to have quite a few drawbacks.

Why don't you try the ArrayList?
it's almost like the Vector but quite better in your case

Yea that's what I came across as well, seems more suitable.

Thanks
