Can't put decimals in my textfields?

[Kevin2341]

I have this chunk of code. It's a simple BMI calculator, but I've noticed that I can only enter whole numbers into my textfields. What can I do to allow decimals?

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class BMICALC extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
	int in, lbs;
	double m, kg, bmi;
 
	Label titleLabel = new Label ("Body Mass Index Calculator");
	//
	Label hLabel = new Label ("Enter your height in inches: ");
	TextField hField = new TextField(10);
	//
	Label wLabel = new Label ("Enter your weight in pounds: ");
	TextField wField = new TextField(10);
	//
	Button bmiButton = new Button("Calculate");
	Label oLabel = new Label ("Click Calculate to see your body mass index.");
 
	public void init()
	{
		setForeground(Color.white);
		setBackground(Color.black);
		add(titleLabel);
		add(hLabel);
		setForeground(Color.black);
		add(hField);
		setForeground(Color.white);
		add(wLabel);
		setForeground(Color.black);
		add(wField);
		add(bmiButton);
		setForeground(Color.white);
		bmiButton.addActionListener(this);
		setForeground(Color.green);
		add(oLabel);
	}
 
 
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent k)
	{
 
		in = Integer.parseInt(hField.getText());
		lbs = Integer.parseInt(wField.getText());
		m = in / 39.36;
		kg = lbs / 2.2;
		bmi = kg / Math.pow(m,2);
		oLabel.setText("Your body mass index is " + Math.round(bmi) + ".");
	}
}

An integer is a non decimal number, so you might want to parse the input to a different type of number.

See the Double and Float classes for other parse methods that take decimal numbers.
