Java minus value parsing error

Thread view:

Hi guys,
I'd like to parse the String to double value.
But String has a minus value such as "-1", "-2"...
I used the Double.parseDouble(String s); method.

The example code is

String s = "-1";
double d = Double.parseDouble(s);

This doesn't seem to work properly.
How can I correctly parse the minus value?

What do you mean, it doesn't seem to work properly?
It works perfectly for me.

public class ParseDouble
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
String s = "-1";
double d = Double.parseDouble( s );
System.out.println( d );
}
}

Displays -1.0
