Resolved Scanner nextDouble - decimal comma or point

[friz]

I'm just starting with Java and the following is not quite clear to me.
I wrote this piece of very basic code and it only let's me input numbers with a decimal comma, not with a decimal point.

I thought all computer input had to be with a decimal point? Or is this because of locale settings on my pc?
(only tested in Eclips SDK)

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ingave {
	private static Scanner myScannerThree;

	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		myScannerThree = new Scanner(System.in);
		double amount;
		double getal;
		
		System.out.print("Give me a number: ");
		getal = myScannerThree.nextDouble();
		amount = getal + 2.95;
		
		System.out.print("You entered ");
		System.out.print(getal);
		System.out.print(". The total amount is now: ");
		System.out.println(amount);
	}

}

Yeppers, Scanner is locale aware, so the number format is based on your system locale.
You can change it using the scanner's useLocale(Locale) method.
