You do know this is a Visual Basic forum, right?

So two notes here:

1. Since terms is an array, would this work in Java:

double n = 12 * terms;

to multiply all array items by 12, since that wont work in VB. You need to multiply each item individually through a For loop. Or is that a syntax error and you meant to say:

double n = 12 * terms[x];

2. Since terms is an integers and n is double, does Java do automatic conversions or do you need to typecast it?

Yes it does. As long as it's a widening conversion
