convert string to a double?

[javaMike]

i posted a recent issue about rounding a double to two decimal places...i was able to use the decimalformat class but the only hitch is it converts the number to a string which means i need to convert it back to a double.

i tried casting but its not permitted, is there another way to convert (cast) a string to a double?

One possibility is to use the stringstream classes and read the string as if it is a character stream.

Double.parseDouble(String s)
Double.valueOf(String s)
