Null Pointer Exception in execution

[msnider9]

Here is my code. It will compile but will not execute. The error is
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at Calculator2.<init>(Calculator2.java.33)
at Calculator2.main(Calculator2.java.91)

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

class Calculator2 extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private JPanel panelAdder;
    private JLabel labela;
    private JLabel labelt;
    private JLabel labelr;
    private JTextField textFieldAmount;
    private JTextField textFieldTerm;
    private JTextField textFieldRate;

    {

        if (source == buttonCalc);
        {

        }
        if (event.getSource() == buttonClear)
        {

            textFieldTerm.setText("");
            textFieldRate.setText("");
            textFieldAmount.requestFocus();                 //return focus to Amount

            //Set Object Attributes
               textFieldResult.setEditable(false);
               textFieldResult.setColumns(8);
               textFieldAmount.setColumns(6);
               textFieldTerm.setColumns(2);
               textFieldRate.setColumns(2);
               Container contentPane = getContentPane();
               contentPane.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        }
    }
      // add components to the panel
      public void setResultValue()
      {
          double amount = Double.parseDouble (textFieldAmount.getText());
          double rate = Double.parseDouble (textFieldRate.getText());
          double term = Integer.parseInt(textFieldTerm.getText());
          double result = amount * ( rate * Math.pow ( ( 1 + rate ), term ) ) / ( Math.pow( ( 1 + rate ), term ) - 1 );
        textFieldResult.setText(Double.toString(result));
    }

        public static void main(String[] args){ 
        Calculator2 frame = new Calculator2();
    }
}

line 33 is where I tried to initialize the code

textFieldClear = new JTextField("");

line 91 is where I call the Calculator2 in the main method.

I think your trouble is actually these two lines

buttonCalc.addActionListener(this);
          buttonClear.addActionListener(this);

because you never initialize those buttons. There is nothing wrong with the line that you posted.

Correct.
