Below i have my code and 2 errors what i want to do is convert the user’s responses to double you know after the two questions i set i thought it is Double Answer = num1,num2; but error message appears please help thanks

in case you want the question im doing it here :

prompt the user twice to enter the distance they have driven (in miles) and how much fuel their car has used (in gallons), and it will convert the user’s responses to double.
Add code to calculate the car’s fuel efficiency (in miles per gallon) and display this in a message dialog box.

code below and error below that


String Distance = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the distance you have driven");
int num1 = Integer.parseInt(Distance);

String Fuel = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How much fuel has your car used");
int num2 = Integer.parseInt(Fuel);

Double Answer = num1,num2;

System.out.println(Answer);
System.out.println("Answer: " + Answer);


System.out.println("Distance: " + Distance + "Mi");
System.out.println("Fuel: " + Fuel + "gal");



int mpg = num1%num2;

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "mpg: " +mpg);

}
}



error: incompatible types
Double Answer = num1,num2;
^
required: Double
found: int

error: variable num2 is already defined in method main(String[])
Double Answer = num1,num2;
^

The first error is because you are trying to set a Double variable to an Integer variable, which of course can't work. The second one can be explained ( i think ) by the fact that you are using a comma. Why are you using a comma.

Regarding

Double Answer = num1,num2;

This isn't valid Java syntax and in fact doesn't really make sense which is why the compiler is complaining. The Java compiler is very strict in what it will allow. To convert a String to double, you would use the Double equivalent to the Integer method you're using, Integer.parseInt(String intString) which is Double.parseDouble(String doubleString).

You have double posted your question which is not fair to the volunteers helping here and is not allowed. I have merged the two threads together.

Whoa!

Did we just enter some time dimensional warp?
