I need help with this Java program for school. I have to add loops so that each loan will loop and show the payment made, the int payment made, and the loan balance for each month of the entire loan. There are three different loans, 7 year, 15 year, and 30 year. Each with a different interest rate. I have that part done, just need to figure out how to put the loops in to show each months payment and ending loan balance. I've tried do/while, for, and if/else, and I can't get any of them to work. Can someone please help me?

Can you show the output you now have, describe what is wrong with it and show what you'd like it to be?

Below is the output I want, but in addition, I have to put in loops which show each payment, interest paid and loan balance after each payment is made for each of the loans. I cannot get my loops to work, I keep getting errors when I'm trying to construct them.

Loan Amount: $200,000.00
Term: 7 Years
Interest Rate 5.35%
Monthly payment amount is $2859.79
Payment # 1

Loan Amount: $200,000.00
Term: 15 Years
Interest Rate 5.5%
The monthly payment amount is $1634.17

Loan Amount: $200,000.00
Term: 30 Years
Interest Rate 5.75%
Monthly payment amount is $1167.15

This is what it looks like now, in addition I need it to do the following:

Loan Amount: $200,000.00
Term: 7 Years
Interest Rate 5.35%
Monthly payment amount is $2859.79

This is what I need it to do:
Payment # 1
Payment Received 2859.79
Interest Payment Received ?not sure what this is supposed to be
Loan Balance $whatever the loan balance is after payment is received.

And I need it to do this under each of one of the different loan amounts, rates and years.

Loan Amount: $200,000.00
Term: 15 Years
Interest Rate 5.5%
The monthly payment amount is $1634.17

Loan Amount: $200,000.00
Term: 30 Years
Interest Rate 5.75%
Monthly payment amount is $1167.15

I keep getting errors when I'm trying to construct them.

please copy and paste the full text of the error message here.

Interest Payment Received ?not sure what this is supposed to be
Loan Balance $whatever the loan balance is after payment is received.

Is that a question of what formula you need to compute the result?

Google should give you the forumulas you need to compute the values.

I guess the problem is not clear to you as well as to the viewer of the site.
Please paste the exact assignment or the inputs and the output you want...

Now I am working on getting the GUI into the Mortgage Calculator. The Mortgage Calculator does not like the fields I'm using in the GUI. It also does not like the -

class MortgageCalculator implements ActionListener, Runnable{

Can you tell me what I'm not seeing, please?

Here is my code - the GUI code first, and then the Mortgage Calculator code.

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;



public class BeemanGUI extends JFrame{
	
	public BeemanGUI() {
		
		//Set up Window Panel
		super("Beeman's Mortgage Calculator");
		setSize(550, 270);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		setVisible(true);
		JPanel pane = new JPanel();
		BoxLayout box = new BoxLayout(pane, BoxLayout. Y_AXIS);
		pane.setLayout(box);
		FlowLayout flo = new FlowLayout();
		setLayout(flo);
		
		//Set up Labels and Buttons for Window Panel
		JLabel pageLabel = new JLabel ("Loan Amount: ", JLabel.RIGHT);
		JTextField LoanAmount = new JTextField(10);
		add(pageLabel);
		add(LoanAmount); 
		JButton InterestRate1 = new JButton ("7 Years @ 5.35%");
		add(InterestRate1);
		JButton InterestRate2 = new JButton ("15 Years @ 5.5%");
		add(InterestRate2);
		JButton InterestRate3 = new JButton ("35 years @ 5.75%");
		add(InterestRate3);
		JLabel pageLabel2 = new JLabel ("Monthly Payment");
		JTextField MonthlyPayment = new JTextField(10);
		add(pageLabel2);
		add(MonthlyPayment);
		JButton Reset = new JButton ("Reset");
		add(Reset);
		pane.add(InterestRate1);
		pane.add(InterestRate2);
		pane.add(InterestRate3);
		pane.add(Reset);
		add(pane);
	}
	public static void main (String[] arguments){
		BeemanGUI window = new BeemanGUI();
	}
	}

This is the Mortgage Calculator that I'm trying to get the GUI to run in.
