DailyTemp.java:174: error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from double to int hold = sorted[max];

I set hold to double. I'm not sure why it is saying lossy conversion. I am calling my method indexOfLargestElement to return an array sorted in descending order. I'm not sure why my method keeps returning the error above. I know I'm converting a double to an int, but the data type for hold is double. I'm a beginner in java

    max is a double value. You should only use integers for indexing arrays – ControlAltDel Nov 19 '21 at 13:48
