That function takes String as a parameter and returns Double.

So to share it: Penny is referring to the OP, not the function bhandri posted bhandri posted for the sake of education the opposite of the OP, that would reverse the process: converts a double to a String. Actually the function QUOTE String.valueOf(Double d) for converting double to string does not exists, I think he meant String String.valueOf(double d).

Yes, it takes a double (and not a Double) and converts it to a String. (nobody said it otherwise) QUOTE(dontKnowJava @ 6 Feb, 2008 - 05:22 PM) and what 1lacca said y do u say there is no such method String.valueOf(Double d)? its in the java docs String.valueOf(Double d) is not in the Javadoc, it's String.valueOf(double d) what you can find there: it takes a primitive type not the wrapper object (however auto boxing might get over such a problem) QUOTE Thanx for the full signature. Not the full sig, I posted it because of the aforementioned Double != double problem.
