In the next workbook, one of your instructions is to copy this method:


 protected double round(double amount) {
     DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
     return Double.parseDouble(formatter.format(amount));
 }


If you live in Europe or Asia, your Locale probably uses , for decimals. You will need to set your DecimalFormat's Locale to English.


 protected double round(double amount) {
     DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("#.##", new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.ENGLISH));
     return Double.parseDouble(formatter.format(amount));
 }
