What "double dribble" means in basketball

In basketball, "double dribble" is a violation that occurs when a player dribbles the ball with both hands simultaneously or after picking up their dribble, they resume dribbling again. When a player commits a double dribble, the ball is turned over to the opposing team. This rule is enforced to ensure that players do not gain an unfair advantage on the court and maintains the integrity of the game.
