Hopefully this will be a simple question. I have to create a program where the user enters 5 values,I add them, average them and state what is above the average. I have created this to a point. I successfully compiled and ran the program using JOptionpane, but because of the output I'd prefer to just put it in the console. My problem is that when I attempt to add the values to the array, it gives me the error:

Unit9.java:29: incompatible types
found : java.lang.String
required: double
myArray[i] = myscanner.next();

I'm not sure why this is doing this. This is the top of my code.


import java.util.Scanner;


public class Unit9

{
public static void main (String [] args)

{
double total, average, round, value;
total = 0;

//create object using Scanner class
Scanner myscanner = new Scanner(System.in);


double []myArray = new double[5];

for(int i=0; i<5;i++)

{
System.out.println("Please enter a value:");
myArray[i] = myscanner.next();

What I'm looking for is why this isn't working. I've used scanner input many times successfully, but it's not working here.

Thanks,

John
