Date Methods

Hi,
 
I am trying to use the date method to modify a date but am unable to do so. The details are
Position is a custom object 
Opendate is a field with date data type
Count is a field with number date type
Closeddate is a field with date data type
I am trying to calculate the closedate from the Opendate and Count but i am not able to do so. The code is a follows

double c = position.Count__c;date mydate = date.valueof(position.Opendate__c);date newdate = mydate.adddays(c);position.Cdate__c = newdate;
If I replace the variable c with a constant number as 1 or 2, it performs the operation properly. I am unable to pass the value of Count there. How can i get this done.
 
Thanks
KD

Hi KD9500,
 
the Method 'Date.addDays()' requires an Integer, but your Variable 'c' has the type double.
Try the following code :
 
 
position.Cdate__c = position.Opendate__c.addDays(Integer.valueOf(position.Count__c));

Thanks Michael..
 
Your option to change the value to integer worked. But I was not able to convert the double to integer, I changed 'Count__c' data type to string and then changed it to integer, it worked properly
 
Thanks again for the suggestion.
