Why do I need to parse a double into a double? - ♥Quantum♥ - Apr 8, 2017

Hey, I did this code with a video tutorial:

Code 
import java.util.*;

public class DatenEingabe

{

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        Scanner leser = new Scanner(System.in);

        int anzahl;

        double preis;

        String bezeichnung, eingabe;

        System.out.print("Geben Sie einen Preis ein: ");

        eingabe = leser.nextLine();

        preis = Double.parseDouble(eingabe);

        System.out.printf("Anzahl: %.2f € %n", preis);

        leser.close();

    }

}

Why do I need to parse my preis variable to a double, if I declared the variable as a double above? Why don't I need to to this with Strings? .. [/php]

Did you code this, fellow German, or did you literally copy 1:1 german code? 🤣

I coded this as a German, from a German video by Rheinwerk Verlag ^^

You don't need to parse it as a double; you can simply call Scanner#nextDouble instead.
