The question is "Where am I going wrong?" See my embedded comments above code starting point. I can get this to compile, but I can't get this loop through the amort, before I beign building (finishing the loop) I need to see if I can display a single line with the folliwng four outputs (interest, monthlypayment, balance)--where am I messing up?

Please help thanks!

Code/
//Need to Create a Mortgage calculator with Amortization display
//The following code compiles, but I can only display one output to the TextArea
//NOt sure how to proceed to get it to display all four pieces:
//(interest, principal, monthly payment, balance) and then loop that till zero?

By the way, I'm new to this kind of thing--forums--so if I screwed up how to post, I'm truly sorry--been up all night trying to get to this point, and now I'm completely stuck.
