Java: Error: Possible loss of precision

Question

my program is almost ready to go I think, however, I can't seem to output the sum as a number like "3.2" or "5.2". For some reason, it's only returning the values as 2.0 or 3.0 or 4.0, like integers with a .0 at the end. Any help?

        System.out.println("Please enter a number?");
        int number = in .nextInt();
        double[] array = new double[number];
        System.out.println();

        double term = 0;

            if (sign == 0) {
                term = Math.abs((4.0 / ((2.0 * i) - 1.0)));
                array[i] = term;
                sign = 1;

Answer 1

while (choice = true) {

should at least be

while (choice == true) {

or even better

while (choice) {

To fix your actual error, change your method signature from

public static int computeSum(double[] array) {

to

public static double computeSum(double[] array) {
