Yes I have tried debugging it though at the moment it does not have any errors. The code works though I cannot produce the output that I would like.
It is producing the loan amount, the amount left on the loan and everything correct. It is having an issue with fulfilling the appropriate count for number of payments. It only goes to 172 payments instead of the 360 payments ( for the 30 year loan). I have tried using a "for" loop though all the examples I have looked at online seem straightforward however when I try it in (netbeans which is my compiler) it is giving me an error and will not let it compile.
I do :
for (int payCounter =0; payCounter => 359; payCounter++)
{
//code
}
It is telling me that a boolean is required and an int is not allowed, as well as an illegal start of expression.
As a side note I am not quite sure if it is my compiler or Java in general, can you not name a variable twice? I have tired to use say "payCounter" in the main code as well as in a statement though it will not let me compile saying it was already defined.
i.e.
main{
payCounter = 0;
//more variables
for (int payCounter =0; payCounter => 359; payCounter++)
{
//code
}
Though if I take out the veriable in the main when I use it agian in the "for" loop it says that it is undefined.

With debugging you go through the code line by line and have a look at what the variables values are.
Generally in a for loop when you declare the variable it shouldn't be used elsewhere.
The convention is normally to use "i" but it is not necesserily the case all the time.
Bactos wrote: for (int payCounter =0; payCounter => 359; payCounter++)
Should be:
for (int i = 0; i < 360; i++)
As the loop will only run while i is less than 360 rather than payCounter having to be greater or equal to 359 which would never execute the loop as it starts as 0.
hmmm pie

HAHA!...
Wow I cant believe i did not see that. I always switch <, > around. I understand that it can not => or <= now and assume that is why i keept getting the error. Though I have been looking at switching compilers because I don't get an error code, like I do in my .Net . Because the error codes are easier to look up.
So I am able to get my statement working with for loop and now understand why it was not working in the first place. (because i am a dolt). I do think that something is off with my math so I will keep plugging away until I get it perfect. As I have said before, I don't like not understanding things.
Thanks,
Bactos

Ok so here is what I have now....
////Write the program in Java (without a graphical user interface)
//// using a loan amount of $200,000 with an interest rate of 5.75% and
//// a 30 year term. Display the mortgage payment amount and then list the
//// loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan.
//// If the list would scroll off the screen, use loops to display a partial list,
//// hesitate, and then display more of the list.
//// */
////
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class CR1 {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
DecimalFormat dollarAmount = new DecimalFormat("0.00");
double loan_amount = 200000.00; // amount of the loan
int terminyears = 30; // term of the loan in years
int number_of_payments = terminyears*12; // sets
double intrest_rate = 5.75; // intrest rate of the loan
double monthly_intrest_rate = intrest_rate/100/12; // calculates monthly inrest rate
double loanbalance = loan_amount - number_of_payments;
double monthly_payment = monthly_intrest_rate/(1 - Math.pow(1+monthly_intrest_rate,-number_of_payments)) * loan_amount;
double P = loan_amount;
double M = monthly_payment;
double J = monthly_intrest_rate;
int N = number_of_payments;
//double ipaid = monthly_payment * .0575;
int pCounter = 0; // sets counter to zero
for (int i =0; i < 359; i++)
{
double H = P * J;
double C = M - H;
double Q = P- C;
P=Q;
System.out.println("Payment Number:" +i);
System.out.println("Monthly Payment:$"+ dollarAmount.format (M));
System.out.println("Loan Balance: $" + dollarAmount.format (Q));
System.out.println("Intrest Paid:$ " + dollarAmount.format (H));
System.out.println();
pCounter += 0;
}//end for
if (pCounter ==9 )
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(20000000);
pCounter = 0;
}// end try
catch(InterruptedException e)
{
//
}// end catch
}// end if
if (loanbalance < 0)
{
System.out.println("Than you for using Billy's Program. Have a good DAY!!!");
System.exit(0);
}// end else
} // end main
}// end program
Everything works!!.. Thanks for your help.

This is not what you want. You need something like
[code]
loanbalance = loanbalance - "principal" (which is part of your loan payment).
[/code]
So you need to figure out your loan payment (which is comprised of interest AND principal); You need to determine what part of that loan payment is pricipal and subtract it from the loan balance. This needs to be done in a loop for every month (30 years time 12 months = 360). I can guarantee you this will run off the screen page, so you need to handle that portion.
An amortized loan will have large interest and small principal in the early months. In the latter months, the opposite will be true; less interest and more principal as the parts of your loan payment. Just ask anyone who has a 30 year mortgage!

I thought that it would be more complicated and so at the start of the assignment I had started doing it with amortized loan though it is supposed to me a simple interest. I think the point of the assignment is not the understanding of the morgage system as much as understanding loops and repeating.
I will mess around with it with the advice and post back in a little while.
~at work so I dont know what a little while will be.

You were right...no matter how much I got the loops right and all if i did not have the loan amortized it would not work right.
Thanks

Hi,
I succeeded using COM objects from my Java program using the Java Callable Wrappers (JCW)
I used Microsoft JVM and Microsoft JDK to implement JCW.
Will the same run on SUN Java VM as well under Microsoft Windows Platforms?
If not, then how can I use COM objects from java programs that runs on SUN Java VM under Microsoft Windows Platforms?
Thanks in advance
cheers

I need a little help getting this script to append a url after their affiliate id. I'm doing this all inside a form. A person puts in their affiliate id, clicks "get code" and its automatically put inside a url so they can copy and paste it on their own.
I have it all working but I need to add an additional url after their affiliate id is inserted...
What I'm getting on my results is:
http://refer.mysite.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=999999-0000&PA=666666
What I need is:
http://refer.mysite.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=999999-0000&PA=666666&HTML=http://www.mysite.com/promo/mypage.html
So here's the problem area of the code:
<a href="javascript:void(null)" onClick=" document.form2.linkg58url.value='http://refer.mysite.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=999999-0000&PA=' +document.getElementById('affiliateid').value">Get Code</a>
I can't figure out where to put the rest of my url:
&HTML=http://www.mysite.com/promo/mypage.html
Inside/Before/After here: .value
Or rather what to append after .value to add the rest of the needed url...?
Hope this makes sense. I'm sure it's something really dumb but for the life of this obvious newby I can't figure it out.
Thanks!

So, I'd probably extract it to a function, but it'd look like this.
In your HTML:
<a href="javascript:void(null);"
onclick="doSomethingAmazing();">Get Code</a>
<script>
function doSomethingAmazing()
{
var val = 'http://refer.mysite.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=999999-0000&PA=';
val += document.getElementById('affiliateid').value;
val += '&HTML=http://www.mysite.com/promo/mypage.html';
document.form2.linkg58url.value = val;
}
</script>
