Problem Triggering Double -> Integer

Hey I'm trying to write a trigger on the one record we have Years for the term. The other one we have months for the term.

 

What I tried doing is:

 

double newmonths;

 

for(Contract c : contractrecords){

        newmonths = o.Term_Yrs__c * 12;

 

c.ContractTerm = newmonths;

 

Error: Compile Error: Illegal assignment from Double to Integer

 

How would one accomplish changing the type so that I can do the math and enter it in properly?

Try doing

 newmonths = Double.valueOf(o.Term_Yrs__c * 12);

I've had nothing but nightmares with formulas following this syntax. I would recommend to move the multiplier out, and use a function to calculate that.
