Plz help, problems with arithmetic...

Hi there.
I have a form where customers input numbers(both types like 123 and 123.54), and i need to pass this numbers to .jsp file and do some arithmetic operations with it.
So i have form.
here is piece of form's code:
-----------------------------------------------

<form name="form1" method="get" action="update.jsp">

<input type="text" name="price" size="30">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

</form

-----------------------------------------------

Next here is the piece of jsp file code:
---------------------------------------------------------------
<%
//getting the parameter

String fprice = request.getParameter("price");

//converting parameter to double type

Double x = Double.valueOf(fprice)

// now i want to do some arithmetic

double y = x / 1.18;

%>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And i have error here:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile C:\tomcat\work\DEFAULT\ROOT\ladu\update_12.java:96: Incompatible type for /. Can't convert java.lang.Double to double.
double y = x / 1.18;



Could any1 help me plz?
best regards...

1. <%
2. //getting the parameter

3. String fprice = request.getParameter("price");

4. //converting parameter to double type

5. Double x = Double.valueOf(fprice)

6. // now i want to do some arithmetic

7. double y = x / 1.18;

8. %>

Ok, the error seems to be in line #5 where you are using the Java object Double instead of the Java primitive double. I know you are trying to convert fprice into a double, and the best way to do that is:
String fprice = "15";
Double x = Double.valueOf(fprice);
double x1 = x.parseDouble(fprice);
double y = x1 / 1.18;
I hope this works. :-)
