Hey guys I am stumped. My code worked fine until I added the calculations:

else{
				 interestRate = rate[choice];
				 termLoan = tYear[choice];
}

:\Users\Mom\Desktop\DuttonWeek4.java:252: incompatible types
found : double
required: javax.swing.JTextField
interestRate = rate[choice];
^
C:\Users\Mom\Desktop\DuttonWeek4.java:253: incompatible types
found : int
required: javax.swing.JTextField
termLoan = tYear[choice];
^
2 errors

Tool completed with exit code 1


I need to use the calculation or something similar can someone help me out here is the rest of my code.

I just can't figure out how to make the double and int work together. I have read a ton of stuff so I am closer to figuring it out but am still a bit confused.

Note if you put my code in notepad instead of TextPad it turns it into a huge block of code. if this is a huge issue let me know and Ill take all the comments out. just haven't had a chance yet.

Thanks

interestRate and termLoan are not primitives, they are JTextFields. You can't directly assign a value to JTextFields.

Read the API doc for JTextField for a method to put data into the textfield.
