String to Double?

Is it possible to convert a Double to a string?  I have a date that is part of a string, and I want to pull out of the date and convert it to a double, but I can't figure out how?

You can use Decimal instead of Double, in Apex they are synonym data types.

So something like this.

 

 

String myString = '2009';
Decimal myDecimal = decimal.valueOf(myString);
