Having Multible errors

Question

I am having multible problems with my code. Here is what it is supposed to do: Write the program in Java (with a graphical user interface) and have it calculate and display the mortgage payment amount from user input of the amount of the mortgage, the term of the mortgage, and the interest rate of the mortgage. Allow the user to loop back and enter new data or quit. Please insert comments in the program to document the program. Here is the code.

you've got quite a number of typo's in there.
just the main things you should correct first:
a variable name has to be unique, so you can not have several JTextFields with the name 'p'
if you call your button 'exitButton', don't be surprised if the compiler does not know what you mean by quitButton.
JLabel does not have a constructor that takes an int as a single parameter.
your last lines, I think you mean MontlyPayment and displayMonthlyPayment over there

correct those, and I bet you'll have a lot of those errors removed

Thank you for your help. I went through everything again and got it to compile. However I can't get it to calculate. All I get for an answer is "NaN". Can I get some fresh eyes on this please.

I got the number to work. But I have a problem getting the exit button to work. Where am I going wrong?

add a seperate (unique) event to your code, link it to your button, and enter this as body of the method:

System.exit(0);
