add/get double to vector

[spandex44]

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:

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:

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:

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

But that doesn't work

Please help!
Alex
