Loan Calculator Help

Question

Hello, I was attempting the code project and this is my code for it:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int amount = scanner.nextInt();
//your code goes here
for (int i = 0; i > 3; i++){
int payment = amount * (10/100);
int remaining = amount - payment;
amount = remaining;
}
System.out.println(remaining);
}
}

Can someone help me with what I did wrong here?

Answer 1

i > 3 makes it infinite loop. Use i<3
don't use braces around (10/100), just use 10/100. Else use 10.0 or 100.0 a double type value instead 10 or 100 . result need type cast back. print amount, not remaining.

Answer 2

Thank you so much, really silly mistake on my part. Did not see that I put the > symbol instead of <. Whoops. Really appreciate the prompt response.

I am getting this error now, I thought I defined remaining already but the error indicates something is wrong here.
/usercode/Program.java:14: error: cannot find symbol
System.out.println(remaining);
^
symbol: variable remaining
location: class Program

Answer 3

'remaining' you declared in loop. So it only exist in loop. After loop, it don't exist. It's scope is local to loop.
Print amount.
