hey all. I have been getting a NumberFormatException thrown in java when I try to multiply something like 5.50 * .06 (The .06 would be used to find sales tax on the first amount) I don''t know why I am getting this exception. I tried double and float and each one works the same- they both still throw the exception. so does anybody know what I need to do to fix this? so I will be able to multiply currency?? thanks for any help.
