This is the assignment:
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 and the user's selection from a menu of available mortgage loans:

- 7 years at 5.35%
- 15 years at 5.5%
- 30 years at 5.75%

Use an array for the mortgage data for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment amount followed by the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term of the loan. Allow the user to loop back and enter a new amount and make a new selection or quit. Please insert comments in the program to document the program.
Here is my code. It will compile with no errors, it will run but, there are panels missing and it will not calculate. I have tried adding panels, fields, different formulas. Nothing works. I need to turn it in tommorow night by 11:59PM MST, USA. Can anyone tell me where I am messing up?

Please edit your posted code and add code tags (upper right icon/link above this text field)

Nothing works

That'll make it hard to help.
Can you ask specific questions about your problem?

This is not a mortgage calculator with a GUI, this is a GUI that calculates mortgages. Consider yourself grumbled at.

Now, it doesn't calculate, you say?

private void getCleanScreen() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}

private double getFigure(double mortgagefigure) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}

private double getPayment(double a1, double r1, double t1, int i) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}

Could it be that you haven't implemented your getPayment method? Just guessing.
