Im reading Java for dummies lol and i got this example code.

import java.io.*;

import java.text.NumberFormat;

public class Mortgage

{

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException

{

BufferedReader keyboard =

new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

double principal, rate, ratePercent;

int years, n;

final int paymentsPerYear = 12;

final int timesPerYearCalculated = 12;

double effectiveAnnualRate;

double payment;

NumberFormat currency = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();

System.out.println();

System.out.print("How much are you borrowing? ");

principal = Double.parseDouble(keyboard.readLine());

System.out.print("What's the interest rate? ");

ratePercent = Double.parseDouble(keyboard.readLine());

rate = ratePercent/100.00;

System.out.print("How many years are you taking to pay? ");

years = Integer.parseInt(keyboard.readLine());

System.out.println("--------------------...

n = paymentsPerYear * years;

effectiveAnnualRate = rate / paymentsPerYear;

payment = principal*(effectiveAnnualRate / (1 - Math.pow(1 effectiveAnnualRate, -n)));

System.out.print("Your monthly payment is ");

System.out.println(currency.format(payme...

System.out.println();
