Hi all,

Need some help I am writing a very small applet and stuck on somthing, I have tried everythink I can think off.I know it gonna be somthing silly but just cant work it out.

double x;
  String total;
  String newtotal;
  
      try {
      String xStr = txtAmount.getText();
      x = Double.parseDouble(xStr);
   }
   catch (NumberFormatException e) {
          // The string xStr is not a legal number.
      txtAmount.setText("Illegal data for x.");
      return;
   
   }
  
      total = ( "£" + (x*12));
      txtYear.setText(total);
      newtotal =((y/365) +"p");
      txtDay.setText(newtotal);

Ok what happen there are 3 textboxes, the user inputs a price in the top one txtAmount.
This then times this by 12 to give a price for a year. I need this value to go into the next box what is txtYear this all works fine.

The bit I cant do is the next bit, I need to take the value from the txtYear and divide it by 365 and place the newtotal into txtday.

any help would be amazing as it really starting to p me off

thanks again

      txtYear.setText(( "£" + (x*12)));
      txtDay.setText(( (x*12)/365) + "p"));

Looks about right

thanks a lot my god I could so kick myself next question this gives me 0.22980821917808217 how can I get it to only show 0.22
