Mortgage Loan

I am doing a mortgage calculator, it is supposed to give a list of declining list of payment but it does not and I can not figure out why I did wrong. It runs gives the amount of the payment and it has headers but no list.

}

//these conditional statements cause the results to pause in (lineconut == 20)
{
linecount = 0;
}
try
{
Thread.sleep (3000); //pause to last three seconds
I now have my program working but it is giving me what looks like hundreds of rows. I give me data in the neg field, instead of stopping at the o balance mark. What is wrong with it now?

The code looks a bit damaged in its copy-and-paste journey. However I suspect the lines:

//start while loop
while (termMonths >0);

The semicolon is an empty statement, so it says "If termMonths is zero or less, stop here forever", which is probably not what you want. I would expect you want to swap the ; for a {, you program probably still won’t work but you’ll be a step nearer.

Changing:

//decrement months
termMonths =144;

to something like:

//decrement months
termMonths–;

might also be helpful!
