Loan Calculator Output

Question

Hi, I can't seem to find exactly the answer to my problem in any of the other threads. I am trying to solve the Loan Calculator challenge for Java and my output is off by one number. Even if I sidestep it and decrease my answer by -1 it still says I'm doing it wrong. I assume I want to do the math differently but am not sure what exactly is the best way to do it using only integers and not a double as I need to decrease it by 10% each loop. My code is below. Thanks in advance!

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int amount = scanner.nextInt();

for (int x = 1; x <= 6; x++) {

int payment = amount / 10;
amount = amount - payment;

System.out.println(amount);
}

}
}

Answer 1

David Amateau Try converting int variables to double and using Math.floor on final result

You can try this logic.

for(int i = 1; i <= 6; i++) {
amount = amount * 90 / 100;
}

System.out.print(amount);

Answer 3

This challenge leads to confusion quite frequently, so I tried to write a code to give some better insight into what's going on. I hope my explanations are not too confusing
