Can't do addition of arrays with doubles?

public class howTall { public static void main(String[] args) { double [] heights = {1.50, 1.60, 1.63, 1.79}; double sum=0.0; for (double x=0.0; x<heights; x++) { sum+=heights[x]; } System.out.println(sum); } } /*Outputs error*/

Use int for array index <x>, we can't refer to an array element using floating point type (double). public class howTall { public static void main(String[] args) { double [] heights = {1.50, 1.60, 1.63, 1.79}; double sum = 0; for (int x = 0; x < heights.length; x++) { sum += heights[x]; } System.out.println(sum); } }
