Why can't I use a double to point to a place in an array?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but whenever I compile code like this I get this error message:

QuickTest.java:16: possible loss of precision

found: double

required: int

System.out.println(s[t]);

I would use an int, but My array that I want to use in other code is 1000 places big. What am I doing wrong?

publicclass QuickTest{

static String[] s =new String[200];

publicstaticvoid main (String[] args){

s[0] ="Why";

s[1] ="do";

s[2] ="you";

s[3] ="own";

s[4] ="ten";

s[5] ="Red";

s[6] ="white";

s[7] ="and";

s[8] ="blue";

s[9] ="hats";

double t = 2;

System.out.println(s[t]);

}

}
