Problem recognizing incompatible types error

[Brian Mart]

Hi everyone! I am working on this code that accepts six grades from a GUI, drops the lowest grade and then gives the final grade. However, when I make an array of doubles to store the grades, my compiler tells me that there are incompatible types. What am I missing here? I only use doubles up until that point of the code, so this is really confusing me. Infinite thanks in advance for any help. The problem is highlighted on like 38 here.

  import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class GradeCalculator
{
   .
   .
   .
   .

    }


    // Insatitiates and driver() method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        GradeCalculator  = new GradeCalculator();
        .driver();// altered this line in compliance with CodeRanch rules. its wrong here but I already know
    }


    //This class implements the ActionListener interface
    //It takes the input grades, drops the lowest, and outputs the final grade
    private class CalculateButtonHandler implements ActionListener
    {
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
      {
        double gradeOne, gradeTwo, gradeThree, gradeFour, gradeFive, gradeSix, finalGrade;
        //takes input and converts it to doubles
        gradeOne = Double.parseDouble(gradeOneTF.getText() );
        gradeTwo = Double.parseDouble(gradeTwoTF.getText() );
        gradeThree = Double.parseDouble(gradeThreeTF.getText() );
        gradeFour = Double.parseDouble(gradeFourTF.getText() );
        gradeFive = Double.parseDouble(gradeFiveTF.getText() );
        gradeSix = Double.parseDouble(gradeSixTF.getText() );
        
        //stores input in array called grades
        double grades = new double [5]; // PROBLEM IS ON THIS LINE
        grades[1] = gradeOne;
        grades[2] = gradeTwo;
        grades[3] = gradeThree;
        grades[4] = gradeFour;
        grades[5] = gradeFive;
        grades[6] = gradeSix;
        
        //finds lowest grade
        int minGrade = grades[0];
        for (int i = 0; i < grades.length; i++)
            {
                if (numbers[i] < minGrade)
                {
                    minGrade = grades[i];
                }
            }
        
        //adds all scores, drops lowest, and calculates grade
 .
.
.
      } //end method actionPerformed
    } //end class CalculateButtonHandler

    //This class implements the ActionListener interface
      private class ExitButtonHandler implements ActionListener
      {
.
.
.

On the left side of the declaration,

double grades

grades is a single variable of type double. However, on the right side, the variable grades is assigned to a 5-element array of type double. Recheck the declaration of array variables and see if you can fix this simple syntax error.

...wow. It was a long day yesterday. Thanks for getting my brain to turn on again!

Sometimes the easy errors are the hardest to see without a little help. Glad I could.
