You can't, you will get an error. So, converting is your best bet. I would suggest coverting the int to a double so you do not lose accuracy of the number.

This should help you, you will need to convert one or the other.

Numbers of two different type can not be added directly. You will have to convert one of the numbers to the 'other' type and do the addition.

In java (and in fact most other languages), the values will be added automatically by converting the int to double, and the result will be double. If you don't want the automatic conversion to take place, you need to cast to do the conversion the way you want.
