Method does not exist or incorrect signature: [LIST:Decimal].get(String) ????

Hi :

   If I have:

 

List<Decimal> rTypes2 = new List<Decimal>();
    for(Account rType :[SELECT Term FROM Subject]) {
        
        rTypes2.add(rType.Term);
    }
for(Account a:trigger.new){
if(rTypes2.get('Term') = 9.1)

{}
}

I am getting an error on rTypes2.get('Term')?????

I don't want to make it sound too simple.  You might have already considered that the field "Term" is a string field and not a decimal.  There are methods you can use to convert it in apex ... not in SOQL.  I don't have the method on the tip of my tongue but for Integers it is x.intValue(), so my first guess would be x.decimalValue().  Where x is Term.

P.S. Try x = double.valueOf(term)??

Hi Doc.. Thanks for the reply.. So I tried the following:
 
(Decimal)rTypes2.get('Term')<==No work

double.Valueof(rTypes2.get('Term'))<==nope

rTypes2.get('Term').decimalValue(); <== nope


rTypes2.get('Term.decimalValue()'); <== nope

Boy.  I can understand the fustration.  I have a lot of post with false leads.  Try this:
 
rTypes2.add(double.valueOf(rType.Term));
 
If this does not work search on "valueOf" for more help.
