    Question Read double from console without having to read a string and converting it to double.

    Is there a stream class with a method that would allow reading double value from console without having to read strings (as in BufferedReader, Scanner) and code explicitly to convert it to a double value.
    i.e. Is there a way which doesn't use Double.valueOf(String inputfrmconsole).doubleValue()?

    method that would allow reading double value from console
    Also look at the Scanner class. It has methods to read and convert data.
