Java Loan Question

Question

I ran the Loan Problem from the Java Section in my IDE and it works. It doesn’t work as a solution in SoloLearn. Why?

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;

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

int count=0;
while(count !=3){
amount= (amount-(amount/10));
System.out.println(amount);
count+=1;
}

}
}

You have to print amount only once which would be final amount

Answer 3

Hahah! Thanks. I just figured that out. So i moved the print statement to outside the while-loop.
Thanks again for responding..

Answer 4

Tho the answer given “you only need to print once” waa helpful, a bettwr answer would have been; having the print statement in the “while-loop” will print the statemt 3 times b/c of the condition”while(count !=3). To print once, with the final reault when the condition “count =3” the print statement needs to be placed OUTSIDE the “while-loop’s” closing braces.
Thanks

Answer 5

Can you post your code here ?

Maybe you use something from a newer version.
Sololearn has Java version 16.

Answer 6

The Question:

You take a loan from a friend and need to calculate how much you will owe him after 3 months.
You are going to pay him back 10% of the remaining loan amount each month.
Create a program that takes the loan amount as input, calculates and outputs the remaining amount after 3 months.

Sample Input:
20000

Sample Output:
10628

Here is the monthly payment schedule:
Month 1
Payment: 10% of 20000 = 2000
Remaining amount: 18000
Month 2
Payment: 10% of 18000 = 1800
Remaining amount: 16200
Month 3:
Payment: 10% of 16200 = 1620
Remaining amount: 14580
