Double is one of bidding tools used in bridge, which means you dare your opponent if you don’t think s/he can fulfill the bid or the contract.
If they make their bid (# of tricks unaffected) they’ll score additional points.
If they fail to make the contract, their opponents will award extra points.
This hand, the player to my right opened with 1 
, I doubled; to my left 1 ♠️, my partner doubled. 2 was played. I led with 2♣️. They made two. 
They were too nice to tell me what my penalty was.
Here is the takeout double, one of the conventional tools.
This hand with 15 pts plus the ♣️ singleton: pass, me 1 , pass, 2 from my partner. Looking at my ♦️ and especially ♠️, I didn’t go to 4 but we ended up making four.
