[SOLVED] Only get correct on the two first cases of loan calculator
I tried these two solutions for the loan calculator test and got correct on the two first that I could see, but not the three next that is locked, and I really wonder why this does not work? First try: int fP = (amount / 100) * 90; int sP = (fP / 100) * 90; int tP = (sP / 100) * 90; if(amount > 0){ System.out.println(tP); } Second try: int payments = 1; do { amount = (amount / 100) * 90; payments++; } while (payments <= 3); System.out.println(amount);

That makes sense! Thank you very much! (-:

It's because integer calculation.
This line makes the difference :
amount = amount / 100 * 90;
or
amount = amount * 90 / 100;
For small amount less 100 for example, the result of
amount / 100 becomes 0.
And 0 * 90 is also 0
That's not good.
Change this formular to
amount = amount * 90 / 100;
So it works also for smaller amounts.

Sorry, start of code is this:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Program {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int amount = scanner.nextInt();
