Convert Object[] to Double[] using Arrays.copyOfRange

[Redefine12]

Hi all,

I have an array: Object[] row that looks like this:

[1SWTGKWR, 36N32, A, AR, 15, 0, 29, 30, 12, 86, 34.09, 65.91]

I want to convert it to an Double[] row2 like this:

[15, 0, 29, 30, 12, 86, 34.09, 65.91]

In essence, I want to create a second array of double values that consist of row[4] through row[11].

I'm initialize double[] row2 thusly:

Double[] row2 = new Double[7];

In attempts to accomplish this, I'm doing

row2 = Arrays.copyOfRange(row, 4, row2.length, Double[].class);

I'm receiving the following error:

Where have I gone wrong?

Have you checked out the API for ArrayStoreException? It states:

Thrown to indicate that an attempt has been made to store the wrong type of object into an array of objects.

Perhaps you want to iterate through the array in a for loop and copy the values over to the second array. I'm not sure if you can Arrays.copyOfRange here, but let's see what smarter minds think.

By the way, what sort of animal is 1SWTGKWR ? It's not a String, not a variable, ... what is it?

Also, if you iterate through your array and have each item print out what type it is, what do you get? I have a feeling that those numbers may not be numbers.

Solved. Java is getting more intuitive as the months pass. I've only been at it since January :p Thanks Furry ;)

  	double[] row2 = new double[8];
  	int index = 0;
  	for(int i = 4; i < 12; i++){
  		Object object = row[i];
  		String string = object.toString(); double dub = Double.valueOf(string).doubleValue();
  		row2[index] = dub;
  		++index;
  	}

Edit: I receive the following when I try to up your reputation: "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Fubarable again."

Glad you've got it working. Still, I'm curious as to just what your original array held. And thanks for trying to up my rep, but not to worry.

If you stores the double values as java.lang.Double in your object array you can just casting it directly into double. No need to convert it to string and then create a double value out of that string.

Object[] objects = new Object[] { 10d, 20d };

Double[] doubles = new Double[objects.length];
doubles[0] = (Double) objects[0];
doubles[1] = (Double) objects[1];

Thanks Furry ;)

Furry?

First array contains stats for Customer Codes in our enterprise. row[0] is the Cust Code. I'm breaking row[4] through row[11] into it's own double[] to serve as input variables for a swing barchart after selection has been performed on row[] via a JComboBox.
