I am trying to make a calculator program with GUI and stuff and i have all my keys working but all i need is to do the calculations part. when you press a number or the decimal key it adds the number or decimal to the end of a String, like a calculator does. but in order to do the calculation I'll need to convert this String to a Double, and i cant do that with
because i'm using RTP. please help thanks -Jordan |

I used the same command in RTP, and it worked perfectly fine for me. Perhaps you forgot to assign that value to something, like this:
What version of RTP are you using? |

Don't use RTP. Download the JDK from Sun and there won't be any question about your environment being borked. |

If it's being graded in school, it'll be by a teacher with the same crummy version of RTP. It's bizarre that your version is so old though. Current ver is 1.7 - and it's not exactly new. |
